Stain removal: Caulking on my polyester-blend pants

My landlord had the bathroom redone and I brushed up against something with still-wet caulking on it. It's set by now, I didn't notice the stain until hours later. Now there's this stupid bright white stain on my dark brown plaid pants.

Can I get it out? How? I think I need a solvent or something, scraping isn't working so well.

According to this the Goo Off solvent might work.

Fantastic spray for about 2 hours then washed with tide and oxyclean got 4 caulk marks out of my dark jeans. I used a stiff brush on the stains after the spray and before the wash to manually remove as much as possible. In the end it was about 95% effective. If I look close I can still see a little caulk attached to the fibers.

Try Goop. It's a hand cleaner/laundry stain remover. and I've been able to get pretty much everything I've ever tried to get out with it.
