I need to remove glue off a glass table without damaging the glass, does anyone know what solvent I would use?

Some of the glass is clear and some of it is etched.

BIO-SAFE 1025 Epoxy remover & resin cleaner

is one of a number of products that can be used to dissolve epoxy resins. Follow the directions on the container.

When you reassemble – try the joints dry before applying the glue. Then work out a system of clamps to pull the joints really tight. Use tiny amounts of epoxy for the assembly so you minimize the amount of cleaning up later.

I have done this several times and gotten near perfect results.

Of course, I am expensive . . .

Try an oile based adhesive remover like Goof Off. It should take it off without damaging the glass.

Try with Goo Gone….that will help you and it will not damage the glass…

Epoxies are very solvent and chemical resistant, so cutting and scraping it off with a razor blade will be your best bet.

Lighter fluid has always worked for me (for any sticky substance similar to the glue used on price tags).

It depends upon the type of glue that you spilled on the table. But in general glass is exremely hard and difficult to scratch. I would use a paint scraper…the type that uses a single edge razor blade and carefully remove the glue. Try practicing on a window until you get the hang of it.

This for Orchid: Where do you purchase Bio-safe 1025? I’ve been unable to locate anyone that sells it.
Thanks
