Greetings.
A little OT but kind of in the ballpark. Anyone have any experience
with that outdoor, siliconized, latex, paintable caulk? In
particular, anyone know how to get it off of jeans once it's dried?
It would peel, if it hadn't gotten in between the fibers.
Yeah, I know ... this isn't woodworking and it's probably a question
for SWMBO, but ... well, if you don't know the answer could you ask
her for me??
Thanks.
Tom (with ruined jeans and an upset SWMBO)

Hi Tom,
I've read the other responses to your situation. I think I have the
answer.. Well, two answers...
First - Monday is Valentines Day... Buy the wife something good....
-------
Second - I have ended up with latex paint, caulking etc on Black
Jeans "at work".. A little soap and water and a wire brush does a
pretty good job. I've gotten dried latex paint out without
destroying the fibres. Denim has a bunch of ridges, and the wire
brush get's down deep enough to scrape out the gunk.

Those have now become your official paint and caulk pants.

Well, since its paintable, perhaps you could paint it the same colour as
the pants!

You're a mean man Mr. Grinch. er Rob...
Try Isopropyl alcohol (Rubbing alcohol). I seem to remember it working.
I've got it on clothes - think washing them several times got it out. Or
maybe it made it worse... hmmm was a while ago... can't really remember.
Next just pee on them - then you can use ammonia or vinegar.
Anyway - Kansas State U has a PDF document on "Spot and Stain Removal
for Washable Fabrics" Try to find that - no URL no try google.
We found that document when my daughter left a ball pen in her clothes
and used the dryer.
Cruelty thy name is wreckers. :-) good luck.

I got bathroom caulk on a pair of pants when I was trying to repair the seal
around the tub. 10+ washings later it's still there. These are the pants I
wear to the Borg so everyone knows I belong in places like that. ;-)

If they are a pair of pants SWMBO bought you
A) Run to store buy new ones of the same brand
B) Change in public restroom
C) On way home throw old ones in charity bin
C) Never tell her
If they are just work pants they are now on the way to becoming
waterproof

This has to be the best suggestion yet.
In Canada we now have a Purdy's Chocolates store in the new Vaughn Mills
Shopping centre near 400 hwy.
Strongly recommended the chocolates before any major new purchases -
just buy while she is eating them -- or the cost of re-supply becomes an
issue.

Thanks all for some good suggestions and a lot of Saturday morning
chuckles. Based upon a combination of the responses I have decided
to:
1. Remember to change clothes in the future before starting a project
and dedicating these jeans to all such future projects.
2. Trying some of the stain removal tactics (I've already tried quite
a few of them and this is some tough stuff!) and ultimately probably
replacing the pants.
3. Logging onto that online, romantic teddy bear place for a
guaranteed Valentines day delivery of cute bear and candy that costs
three or four times the price of the jeans (ack!).
Again, thanks for the ideas.
