This usually only occurs if the KK 2000 can is not shaken each time it is used and/or held too close to the fabric and the resulting spot you see is a build-up of the propellant (not the actual KK 2000), because of the closeness of the spray. Certain more “exotic” fabrics can stain easily: silks and satins, for instance. You want to stay about 6" away from the fabric when you spray. I know it's tempting to move closer for small items, I've done it too. But if you put the item in a box (I use a shirt type box that we use at Christmas time for gifts), there is no worry that there might be overspray. And the plus side of keeping and reusing this box, is that it does become tacky over time, and then little pieces don't even move when placed in the box and sprayed.
The recommended removal for Sulky KK 2000 Temporary Spray Adhesive is denatured alcohol which can be purchased at most hardware stores. Drycleaning has always worked as well. Take the can to the dry cleaner or tell him the recommended removal solvent is: denatured alcohol.
However, there are a couple of other products that often work as well. Goo-Gone, which can be found in most drug stores, grocery stores, discount stores, etc. However, my experience is that Goo-Gone is best at removing the stickiness of KK 2000 on hoops, for instance, and not the propellant stain that results from spraying too closely. Test any of these products on an inconspicuous area before using further.
Another thought...if you are spraying heavily or too closely because you think you need extra stick...I find that if you lightly spray the two pieces that you are putting together, rather than heavily on one piece, it works better. It's rare to need this kind of stickiness, but I've done that when I've had some awkward piece that I was using for computerized embroidery on 3-D item like a jewelry case.
