How to Remove Polyurethane Glue
- 1). Prepare a well-ventilated area to prevent inhaling hazardous fumes from the acetone. Open a window if your workspace is indoors.
- 2). Put on a pair of protective gloves, and apply a small amount of the chemical to a rag or cotton pad. Wipe it directly onto the glue stain, being cautious not to touch any unaffected areas as excessive acetone may cause damage.
- 3). Allow time for the acetone to soak the polyurethane before attempting to remove it. Wait at least five to 10 minutes for the glue to soften.
- 4). Loosen the softened glue with a plastic scraper until it has been completed lifted from the surface. Simply apply more of the remover if any stubborn film persists.
- 5). Wrap the remnants of glue in a paper towel and dispose of them. Wash the affected surface of any stubborn film using an appropriate household cleaner.
