Will freezing work even if the gum is really deep in and spread around? Also fh3001 or Sam710s for the restof the day?

Gum-fades are a natural part of the lifespan of a pair of jeans. Just accept it, they're just jeans after all, and start adding your own gum to your jeans. On a related note, Superfuture poster Martin Burger King Jr has a pair of somets with some pretty sweet laffy taffy fades all over them, go check them out for inspiration.

Why is the gum "deep and spread around"???
I would assume that you noticed it quickly and the last thing you'd want to do is press it in any more...

Tomorrow we'll get a post that reads:

"Hi, I'm some cockbag. How do I get these blood fades out of my jeans?"

I just got home (was posting from my phone). The problem was that the gum wasn't in like one piece, it was all over, spread out, so the area where it transferred (like a one inch by half an inch patch on the knee) was kind of ground in.

I will freeze them and if worse comes to worse I'll just hot soak them again. I'm sure I'm going to be washing these a shitload in the summer when they get all sweaty anyway.

Washing probably won't work very well anyway. If freezing doesn't work, try something like goo-gone, although I won't be held responsible for what that might do to your indigo.
