This is the link to a site about removing the glue. As I thought it's is acetone(nail polish remover). You have to be extremely careful not to get it on the wood since it will ruin the finish.
Treat it as major surgery. Mask off the area to sides of spill with masking tape or painters tape as close as possible to glue even if it overlaps just a hair. Then follow the directions given.
Oh boy, nail glue is tough. Nail polish remover might take it off, but it will also take off the finish of your table : ( They do make glue removers,but I dont now what those would do to the finish
I think I would scrape it off cause you will usually only scrape the top coat off which you can match the finish easy. Whereas if you use acetone it will mess up the finish and stain.
I would try heating it with a blow dryer or heat gun on low and carefully scrape off with a rubber spatula.
use a very fine nail buffer. After masking off the spot, then lightly buff. Afterward use mayonnaise to restore the shine.
Goo gone will work with it just leave it on for 5 min then scrape off
I tried to apply nail glue but it didn't work for me :(😶😟
If the nail glue is strong like crazyglue, goo gone will not remove it.
You may need to try to sand it off, but it most likely will leave a damaged mark on the table. Can you put something over the spot where the glue is, such as an attractive doily, or small dish?
Here are a few steps you can try to remove dried nail glue from a wood table top:
Remember to be gentle and use caution when trying to remove dried glue from wood, as the wood can easily be damaged.
Step 1: Use Acetone Safely
Work in a well-ventilated area whenever you're using acetone and keep it well away from any heat sources as it's very flammable.
Step 2: Dampen a Cotton Ball or Swab With Acetone or Nail Polish Remover
Make sure not to drench your cotton ball or swab in acetone or nail polish remover, as you only want a small amount to avoid wiping spots without glue on your table.
Step 3: Carefully Swipe the Glue
Because acetone can discolor finished wood, you'll want to make sure to go slowly and only wipe the cotton ball or swab on the spot with glue. Once your cotton ball or swab feels dry, toss it out and grab a new one. Dampen it with the acetone or nail polish remover and continue dabbing at the glue until it becomes loose. You may need to repeat this step multiple times.
Step 4: Gently Remove the Glue
Once you've loosened the glue enough with acetone, gently scrape it off the table's surface using a plastic putty knife or an old plastic card. Make sure to take your time to avoid removing your table's finishing. If the glue is difficult to remove, repeat step 2.
