how to remove glue
Reply with quote Thanks

When my children were small, I used hooks on the bathtub to hang up their washcloths after they had bathed. This was more than 20 years ago. Now I am unable to get the hooks off the tile around the bathtub. I have tried Goo-Gone, nail polish remover, and what-not. Do you have any suggestions on what would work? (I do not remember what I glued the hooks with; either it was superglue or some kind of epoxy. I know it to be something serious in order for them to stick.)
Thanks!

Try warming it up gently with a hair dryer or heat gun whilst using a scraper.
