Sticky Seal String Stuck to Carpet!

[stocky]

I have managed to get a big blob of seal string stuck to my carpet.

My computer chair has been rolling over it and it is properly stuck to the carpet! Is there a known way to get it off, without using a blow torch?

If its still "tacky" you can use another ball of sting to pick off the majority - then you can use vanish or some equivalent.

you need the spray they use to get chewing gum off loool its like an ice type spray loooool

Hmmm, it's quite stuck. i just tried to suck it off with the Dyson - no luck

Heres I piccy of it:

 

[fatty]

freeze it with ice cubes and pick it off

 

[R Nibleck]

stick the head of ye prommie on it and freeze it off

failing that get down to your local plumbers merchant and get some pipe freezing spray.

Who needs ice cubes when you have a phase change unit?

Exactly as the others said freeze the bugger

Only way to chewing gum off and its a similar tackiness!

Good idea sticking the head of the prommy on it!

I'll wait to get some freeze spray... ...The landlord wouldn't be too pleased if he saw it!

Saying that, will seal string freeze?! Hasn't it got a huge operating temperature range, as it is used around the CPU socket/ head of phase change & Liquid Nitrogen...

ermmm good thinking, i will just go and give it a try

(edit) if you give it enough spray it does go hard and is easily picked apart, the stuff i have in the van is rothenberger spray but any should do it.

Excellent, I'll go get some of that spray sometime during the week! Cheers
