a1ways_de1_lorri_2004	use cotton wool behind the gum and sprinkle a little petrol on the area then rub with more cotton wool the petrol desolves the Guar Gum and allows it to be removed . then wash the item as normal to remove the smell of petrol . Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

zifi1957	As with other answers - like wax - freeze it and chip off as much as you can ..... you will probably be left with a grease mark - this can easily be dealt with by placing a folded piece of kitchen towel under the mark and then dabbing with some cottonwool that has some lighter fuel (the liquid petrol for lighters) ,,,, this should dissolve the stain and then you can wash it as normal.....
