Katydid: The Goof Off worked! Thanks so much for your suggestion! There is still a little discoloration on the fabric and you can see where the patches were, but it's a tiny fraction of what it was before. If I'm careful about placing his new numbers on the sleeve, they should cover most of what remains. Thanks again! And thank you to all of the the responses I received throughout my very first post here. This seems like a nice community and I look forward to more "conversations" in the future. Ka'

Katydid: Thanks for the suggestion! There's a place near me that sells "Goof Off". I'm going pick some up tonight! ScoutNut: He's going from 4 digits to 3, so it won't work. But good thinking! Eagle1973: You know, I just wait until he goes to sleep, then I slip his uniform off, wash it, iron it, and redress him so he never has a clue! Thanks again everyone! Ka'

No, I didn't glue them on. I think I know now what the problem is. You mentioned the non-fray backing and I must have assumed it was an iron-on patch. (Some of his older patches were iron-on and I was never advised about a non-fray backing on newer patches. Just ANOTHER tidbit of information that never got passed on to us. Sorry, I have some real issues with the pack he just crossed over from and could be a lengthy post in itself. I pray his new Boy Scout leader will be more organized and helpful. But I'm getting away from myself here...) Many thanks for the reply... Ka'

My son recently crossed over to Boy Scouts. When I removed the red pack numbers from his uniform sleeve, they left behind ugly red adhesive marks. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove this? I'd really hate to have to buy him another shirt right now. Many thanks! Katschen
