WARNING LAST DITCH EFFORT!!!!!!!

My Wife spilled acrylic paint on her costume and it dried in. Nothing would remove the stuff..... Except a solvent called MEK. This is nasty, unhealthy to breathe, use, posses... You get the idea. Test first on a spot for colorfastness. Wear Blue Nitrile Gloves. Nothing else will protest your skin for this stuff and do in a VERY well ventilated area. If it doesn't remove the color, use on a paper towel or rag and use a table knife to scrape it off. After removal, wash a couple of cycles to make sure the chemical is out. I hope it works. We were able to save my wife's costume.

Good Luck,
Scruffy
