About Me
ALES LOMBERGAR is one of the few artisans in Europe who still practice the ancient art of glass acid etching which flourished in the late 19th century. Decorations are applied with resin resists by hand and then exposed to acid baths, with no machinery used. More information here.Recent in portfolio

Remaining glue will not come off by soaking in water.
It can be removed with all the oil based solvents mentioned, like cigarette lighter fluid (works great) WD-40, and Goo-Gone, which all work very fast.
Vegetable oil, and just about any other oil products, since they too break down the glue, also work, they just work much slower and require more rubbing than the very thin liquid solvents like the cigarette lighter fluid.
Any residue from the oil based products can afterwords be removed from the glass with any soap based cleaners, because soap breaks down oils.

Try “Goo Gone” or something like that. I forget exactly what it’s called, but it works. Try a hardware store.

They sell products like goof off in stores. A less expensive and widely used quick fix is basic lighter fluid. It takes sticker residue off glass, and other hard surfaces while not harming the surface. Goof off and similar products will melt some plastics.

Soak it in hot soapy water for a couple of hours and it comes right off!

Goo Gone, or rubbing some cooking oil into it

Washing up liquid is good, just use a scouring pad with it on and rub the sticky bits off. Cheaper than named brands

I have used WD-40 for years for this purpose. It’s a fish oil based product that is extremely efficient and not harmful.

There is a product called “sticky stuff remover”. I think I bought it from Lakeland. I have had mine for some years and it is absolutely brilliant.
