Re: RE: IML: OT - Upholstery adhesive

[<tomswift@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

3M also makes a product called "Adhesive Clean Up" or something like that that is designed to help remove any excess adhesive, and I would buy some of that at the same time because you are likely to get adhesive where you don't want it, and if it dries it is tough to get up.

Good luck,
Mark
