How to Remove Hot Glue Off Plastic: A Step-by-Step Guide
Hey Tom, I've got hot glue all over a plastic object, how can I remove it?
Hello! You should first try to manually remove as much glue as you can. Many times, hot glue can be peeled off once it has cooled and hardened. However, be careful not to scratch or damage the plastic.
Okay, I tried manually removing some of it, but there's still some residue left. Any tips for that?
Yes, for the residue, you can use a hair dryer to warm the glue up slightly, which should make it easier to peel off. Be sure not to melt the plastic though! Afterward, try rubbing some alcohol or acetone on the area to remove the remaining residue. Be careful, these substances might cloud the plastic, so test in a small area first.
I see. And what should I do if there's still some glue stuck?
If there's still some glue residue left, your best bet might be to use a plastic scraper or old credit card to gently scrape it off. Remember not to be too forceful or you may scratch the plastic. Once you've scraped off as much as possible, clean the plastic thoroughly to remove any lasting residue.
