Ditto, outside on acetone resistant formica or simiolar.
& lots of EBR to clean it up with.

acetone is legally restricted because it is toxic, carcinogenic and dissolves blood vessel linings!
MEK - methyl-ethyl-ketone is marginally less dangerouds and much easier to buy.
Use in an open space ONLY!

dangerouds are of course also subject to ASBOs.
sorry

White Spirit will also do the job.

Last night I used Ultrovar 2000 solvent. It makes the glue go all gooey but you can scrape it off. When it's as clean as you can get it then give a few wipes with a clean acetone cloth. Seemed to work well. I found that acetone dried too quickly and was taking ages but the Ultrovar stuff was less volatile. Also tried Fast Epoxy Solvent but it seemed a non starter. Seems everything you try smells!!
