Remove Glue From Man Made Marble Vanity
QUESTION:How to remove the glue left from the clear plastic(when it was installed) on the vanity top.ANSWER:Let me be clear that man-made or "cultured" marble is a completely different product than natural stone and marble when it comes to care and maintenance. Our expertise is natural stone and not cultured marble, although I do answer questions to the best of my knowledge.So, the best way to remove a glue is with acetone or alcohol. However, on cultured marble both of these could dull and/or damage the shiny protective gel coat if left on the surface too long. You may want to try a regular 409 type cleaner first, which won't damage cultured countertops. But maybe you have and no go... So, if you use the acetone, just get a rag wet with acetone and use it to remove the glue as quickly as possible. Then clean the area with soap to remove the solvent. Once removed and cleaned you can go back over the cultured marble with "GelCoat", which is recommended to keep cultured marble shiny anyway. I'd also call a couple cultured marble manufacturers to get their take though too and see if they have a better suggestion. Good Luck, Ryan P.S.
