Default removing unmixed bondo from cloth seats?

checking to see if any body guys have had experience with this;

so i had a can of bondo in the car for a while, and while cleaning up today i discovered that it had leaked and a small blob about the size of a quarter and it had managed to contact the upholstery, namely the cloth rear seat in the wrx. its unmixed, so its still gummy and sticky. does anybody have ideas on how to remove this, or am i fubar'd?

i did a search online and came up wtih vinegar, but that only helps a little and theres still a decent amount in the fibers. hoping someone here has better advice.

thanks!

I used to have a hard time getting it out of my pants. I cant remember what I used to get it out. If I remember it I will let you know.

Try rubbing alcohol, if not u could try laquer thinner on a small unseen area first to see if it discolors or anything like that. I know laquer takes it off for sure, but just make sure it doesnt mess with the color. I take it off my jeans all the time with laquer thinner.
