Someone spilt tipp-ex on my goretex jacket, I've scraped off what I can and washed it using tech wash but it's still clearly visible.
Anyone know a way to get it off?
Thanks
Simon

Nail varnish remover will soften it, then scrape it off....no idea how it will effect the Goretex though... you can get Tipex thinners but again, it may damage the Goretex.
A 70 % alcohol solution such as rubbing alcohol or surgical spirirts may work too. Always test a small unseen area first.
. Are tipex thinners made out of the same stuff?
Starting to consider the crayon idea
As a Decorator, theres not much I can't fetch paint off
I'd leave the solvents first and scrub it with a baby wipe, they fetch paint off as well as proprietary wipes. If that fails, put some meths on the baby wipe and scrub again. Theres no many coatings meths won't loosen and it shouldn't damage the material.
Microfibre cloths are also fantastic for removing paint. A little it of tech wash on a damp microfibre should fetch most of it off. If not, add a bit of meths to the cloth and try again.
Meths worked and didn't damage anything
Thanks for the help

Glad it worked for you
Did you use a babywipe or or just meths?
I tried a Microfibre cloth with some tech wash, that brought most of it off and just left a flat stain. Then put a bit of meths on it rubbed and everything went white so I panicked, ran it under the tap and it came off
might have worked with just meths, used some of the clear stuff though. Would the coloured one have dyed it?
Thanks again
Good Info Simon
The coloured meths would have stained it temporarily but it fades to nothing quite quickly.
