    Another vote for "pure" acetone - not nail polish remover as it often has softeners and other crap in it

    In order of potential hazard. Try WD40 first, then paraffin then petrol and then cellulose thinners or acetone or MEK. One of those should shift it.

    Hardened glue

    Many thanks to all who replied.
    I’ll start with the safest one **40 hopefully that will work before I need to use MEK.
    I know that is whiffy stuff they use it at work cleaning aircraft surfaces.

    Petroleum jelly otherwise known as Vasaline is worth a try.
    Give the said area a liberal coating and leave for a few hours.
