help needed please

Post by windjammer »

whilst working on a customers house repairing chipboard flooring i some how got glue on a piece of there carpet which so happens to be the most expensive piece in the house,the glue i was using Soudal PU Construct | Rapid Set D4 Waterproof Timber Frame Wood Glue Adhesive.
anyone have any tips on how to remove the dried glue its the size of a pound coin,what would happen if i placed a clean rag over the glue and used a steam iron to try and melt the glue
thanks

I am a wood worker and use pu glue a lot, its totally waterproof so steam wont do it , cellulose thinners might soften it a little but it's very strong stuff, good luck.
What's the worst than can happen?
