Orange Oil Shrinkie Residue and Latex Bond Remover
We recommend using Sweet Orange Essential Oil undiluted to dissolve the bonds.One drop per removed Shrinkie or several drops per latex track. The glues will dissolve instantly.
Orange oil that has not been diluted is very strong. Most people are not affected, but some people
are sensitive to the strength. Be sure to do a test patch prior to removal.
To do a test patch, simply place a drop of Orange Oil behind one ear and let set for several hours.
If irritation occurs, dilute the orange oil with Sweet Almond Oil or Grape Seed Oil (common massage oils).
Note: Grape Seed Oil is rich in Vitamin E and is often fortified with aloe.
