Cleaning Marble Remove Glue

QUESTION:
How do I remove glue from a marble table top?



ANSWER:

A razor blade will take the glue off your marble table top. Buy a new, sharp one at your local hardware store--sometimes called "utility blades."

Hold the blade edge firmly and flat against the marble table top surface (see picture). Your main objective here is just to keep the entire blade edge in contact with the marble surface. This will allow the edge to get under the glue.

Gently push the blade (edge first) into the glue and you should see it lift off in front of or over the blade edge.

Do not scrape or pull the blade across the top... it is difficult to control if you do this. Just push/slide the blade across the surface into the glue and not down into the surface or glue.

Take your time. When you meet resistance... stop, clean the blade off and repeat the process until the glue is gone.

Hopefully the glue has not etched or dulled the surface. You would notice a difference in the "shine" compared to the rest of your countertop.

If this is the case you will most likely need to hire a professional to re-polish the area. Although in some cases a marble polish will work to restore the shine.

Good Luck,
