Many solvents will dissolve gum, but they will also usually stain whatever you use them on. The mildest is vegetable oil, which can dissolve or loosen some types of gum. Naphtha, methanol, acetone, and urea products will also dissolve some types of gum.

The easiest way to remove most gum (from hair, fabrics) is using ice to harden it, so that it can be flaked off the surface.
