| How do I remove Fray Block™ from my fabric? | ||||
| To remove an unwanted spot of Fray Block™
begin with rubbing alcohol. Be sure to test the rubbing alcohol in
an inconspicuous place on your fabric first. Watch for any color change
or formation of a ring. The alcohol evaporates quickly and usually
doesn’t stain. Dab a cotton swab in the rubbing alcohol and
rub it on the drip to dissolve the Fray Block™, working while
the spot is still wet if possible. If the drip has dried, continue
to blot and rub the spot until it is removed. Because most sealants
are a nylon/plastic in an alcohol base, alcohol is the only solvent
that will chemically break down the plastic. It is important to give
the alcohol time to work on the drip. Back To Questions |

| If your Fray Block™ has been opened
and unused for some time, it is possible that it has begun to thicken
inside the tube. We recommend testing it on several different color
scrap fabrics before using on your project to see if this has occurred.
If you notice any color in your Fray Block™ (white or cloudiness),
this may have begun to happen. It may be helpful to place your tube
in a bowl of warm water (not hot) for approximately 10-15 minutes.
This will help to thin the Fray Block™. We then recommend retesting
the Fray Block™ on your scrap fabrics once again to ensure the
Fray Block™ is once again clear. Back To Questions |
