And the gum isn’t the only problem. Any little fleck or treasure can then stick to the gum that is stuck to you. It’s a sticky situation for sure.
The simple solution is duct tape. Just do gentle little stick, and unstick to the area where the gum is stuck. It should easily stick to the tape.If the gum is super stick to delicate fabrics, the sticky tape could tear the fabric. So for super delicates, try lightly ironing the gum until the gum disintegrates.
Or use ice to harden the gum, which should make the gum easily peel off.
