I'm on a business trip and realized I forgot to bring my lace release. This is the first time in 15 years of wearing that that's happened. Is there an over-the-counter substitute that can be used that won't damage the lace or the hair? Maybe rubbing alcohol or some other type of alcohol? I'm gone a week and a half which is too long to go without cleaning.

Has anyone tried to lather up with soap and warm water and remove it? I've never tried it but sometimes the lace feels loose when I'm washing my hair.
