Question Glue on black leather

Does anyone have advice on how to remove glue [from a glue gun] from my black leather seats? I know it sounds odd that there is glue gun glue in my car -- I placed a towel on my back seat that had dried glue on it. I did not realize this until it was too late. I'm assuming that the heat from the Florida sun melted the glue back into liquid form and it transfered from the towel onto the black leather seats of my new TL!!

I was thinking of using Goo Gone, but I'm nervous about the effect it might have on the color of the leather. I also have thought about waiting until the sun heats the seat up again and working with it from there.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

try this. Put about 2-3 sheets of paper towels on the seat where the glue is. hold down the towels and start to heat it up with a hair drier. This will melt the gule and make the towels absorb it.

Smile Thanks for the tip!!

Thank you, csmeance, for the tip. It worked perfectly and there are no marks, whatsoever, on my seats! I used an old t-shirt instead of paper towels because the paper towels were leaving lint behind. I'm so happy I don't have to apply any type of solvent
