Polyurethane glue expands and cures into a semi-hard consistency as it reacts with moisture in the air. The curing process can not be reversed after it has begun, and no solvent can remove the glue. If you can get to the glue until it hardens, you should be able to remove most of it with a solvent.
Phase 1 of the Removal Protocol
To extract fresh Gorilla Glue from plastic, dampen a rag with acetone, gin, or mineral spirits. While alcohol and mineral spirits are usually harmless, acetone dissolves certain plastics; measure the solvent in an inconspicuous region first.
2nd Step
Wipe away the wax with a solvent-dampened towel.
Step three
Using a shaving knife or chisel, scrape cured Gorilla Glue off a strong plastic board. Most of the time, this isn't difficult because polyurethane foams up as it heals and is relatively easy to cut and split apart. Picking at the dry glue with your fingers or a pair of pliers is another method for separating it from soft plastic.
4th phase
Using a spray lubricant and an abrasive sponge, remove residue from the soil. The lubricant weakens the adhesive bond, making it easy to rub the glue off.
Getting Rid of Gorilla Super Glue
Acetone dissolves cyanoacrylate glue, which is a significant flaw. Unfortunately, acetone can dissolve the plastic to which the glue is adhered, so it's critical to perform a test, particularly if the plastic in question is polystyrene, which is used to make plastic containers, disposable razors, and other popular products.
If acetone is safe to use, brush it on the adhesive with a cotton swab, wait for it to work, and then wipe the glue away with a rag. Scrape off the adhesive with a razor knife, chisel, or other tool suitable for the surface in question if it isn't secure.
