Acetone will melt plexiglass and not do anything to MDF except make it swell if you spill a whole bunch on there |

Dumb question: Have you tried rubbing it off with your hand? I've found that some adhesives can simply be rubbed off for the most part. What's left over could probably be removed with some windex or the like. Just givin' it a shot. |

This is good to know - I have about 15 hours in the piece I'm working on... I do not want to start over! ;D --- Quote from: somunny on September 02, 2008, 07:38:52 pm ---Dumb question: Have you tried rubbing it off with your hand?

It's not like rubber cement - it dries pretty hard even though when I pick at it with the razor blade it is a little rubbery. |

How about applying some heat? |

Try Wd-40. It breaks down gummy glue and can be washed off with soapy water. |
