Good morning all! This may be a silly question, but I was wondering how, if at all possible, can I remove dried contact cement from a laminate surface I built…this was my first adventure with the stuff and accidentally got it on the white laminate surface. It is QUITE noticeable…any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Lacquer thinner

Do they work after the stuff is hard and cured?

Cliff....I've used acetone to take contact cement off equipment. The contact cement had been there for a couple of years holding down some rubber strips.
