The method for dissolving glue depends on the type of glue you're dealing with. Here are some general guidelines:


Water-Soluble Glues (e.g., Elmer's Glue):
Simply soak the glued area in warm water.
Use a damp cloth or sponge to apply water to the glue.
Allow it to sit for a few minutes, and then gently rub or scrape off the softened glue.
Acetone-Based Nail Polish Remover:
For glues like super glue (cyanoacrylate), acetone-based nail polish remover can be effective.
Apply a small amount of nail polish remover to the glued area.
Gently rub or scrape off the glue as it softens.
Rubbing Alcohol or Isopropyl Alcohol:
Apply rubbing alcohol to the glue using a cloth or cotton ball.
Allow it to sit for a few minutes, then rub or scrape off the softened glue.
Vegetable Oil:
Apply vegetable oil to the glue and let it sit for a while.
Gently rub or scrape off the glue. This method is suitable for some adhesives.
Warm Soapy Water:
Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap.
Apply the soapy water to the glued area and let it sit for some time.
Gently rub or scrape off the softened glue.
Commercial Adhesive Removers:
There are commercial adhesive removers available that are designed to dissolve various types of glues. Follow the instructions on the product carefully.
Heat:
Some glues can be softened with heat. Use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm the glue.
Be cautious not to overheat or damage the surface.


Always test any solvent or method on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure that it won't damage the material. Additionally, follow safety guidelines and use proper ventilation when working with solvents. If you're dealing with a specific type of glue or material, check the manufacturer's recommendations for removal.
