How do I remove contact cement?
javeryh:
I have a thin layer of contact cement on top of some plexiglas that I want to remove. So far I've been scraping with a razor but it is SLOW. Is there anything I can do to speed this up? I'm thinking of maybe some type of solution I can apply with a q-tip that will dissolve the glue or something.... any ideas?

Acetone might work

Nail polish remover? What effect (if any) do you think a drop or two will have on MDF? There is a good chance that no matter how careful I am with the acetone I will get a bit on the adjacent MDF...
HaRuMaN:
Acetone on MDF will probably have no effect at all. It's a pretty volatile compound, and will evaporate quickly.

I would test it on a piece of scrap MDF just to be sure ...
