    Default rubber cement removal

    Does rubber cement just peal off or does it need a solvent to remove it?

    When I was taking art classes we used to make an "eraser" out of a ball of cured rubber cement. This "eraser" will remove excess rubber cement because rubber cement sticks to itself very well. It's the only eraser that gets bigger as you use it. By the end of the year it was like a football.

    If it just glue you are are trying to remone, Goo gone, Goof off these are good for adhesive removal. Petrolium gas will also. Not sure what you are workinh om but I say stratwith a q-tip and progress until the desire is achieved.

    Rubber cement will simply "roll off". As JohnnyJ said, once you get it started, it literally will pick itself up off the substrate. I once covered an entire desk with a nice thick coat of the stuff. After it cured I rolled it up into a ball almost as big as a ping pong ball. It bounced like crazy!

    You can have fun painting the stuff on your skin and making fake scars with it.
