First, don’t worry\u2026it will usually come out if you treat it properly before washing. Take it from someone who spends a lot of mixing newmonomers, here is what to do:<\/p>\n

1) Blot up any monomer you can from the area to keep it from spreading and limit its ability to cure<\/b> (it doesn’t cure as easily when there’s less of it). Don’t spend a bunch of time in the sun with monomer-soaked clothes either. Sunlight cures it, and once it’s hardened it’s not coming out. Room light and short periods outside aren’t typically a problem.<\/p>\n

2) Locate a bottle\/stick of Shout Ultra Gel<\/b> (it’s the one with the little scrub brush built into the top of the bottle). Make sure it says you can wait up to a week to wash the item after treating a stain.<\/b><\/p>\n

3) Thoroughly saturate the spot with Shout and scrub it a little.<\/b> Make sure it penetrates the fabric well. If the garment is thick, apply from the inside too.<\/p>\n

4) DO NOT wash it immediately.<\/b> You can wait up to a week, so give it some time to work on the monomer – a couple days at least.<\/p>\n

5) Wash normally<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Washing<\/a>Other stain removers might work too, but Shout is the one I’ve used to save a bunch of clothes over the years. I think being able to leave the ultra concentrated version on for quite a while before washing really helps.<\/p>\n

On a related note, photochromic clothes do sound kind of fun until you walk outside and realize you look like a horror movie extra because your nice white shirt has concentrated red photochromic goop smeared on it. It took a couple treatment\/wash cycles to fix that one, but Shout rescued it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
