It's likely the acetone in the nail polish that's doing it. You can buy
straight acetone at wig stores & probably beauty supply places. It's
still likely to be a PitA to wipe down that much fabric though, but at
least you wouldn't be using a teensy brush.

I bought a beautiful piece of fabric to make a kirtle to wear under a
loose gown. The problem is the fabric has a latex backing on it. I tried
looking up on the Internet on how to remove the backing. I tried a bit of nail
polish remover on a corner of it and it looks like it might work but it's
quite a lot of fabric to have to go over with the nail polish remover. I also
thought of washing and drying it on a hot cycle but don't know how many
times I'd have to do that and if it would ruin the fabric. Does anyone have any
experience on removing this backing or know how I could do it?
