depending on what type of surface it's on you might be able to just peel it off or you can reheat it to make it soft/liquid again

thx for the help man, the surface is alumin i think and it is very difficult to peel off, how would i go about reheating it?

I'd try a hot air gun or hairdryer on a low setting first, try to just soften the glue rather than liquify it & it should be easier to peel of. Or if it's glued parts your trying to seperate use the same method going over the whole area, pulling it apart a small bit at a time. Take care with hot glue though, it can burn like a mutha!!

Ya. A heat gun sounds like your best bet if u got one. Careful though cause i have seen heat guns set fire if left on something too long. B) Dont worry though, it was an experiment.
It will work, if not then a hair dryer will work it will just take a little longer. U can also use the tip of a glue gun too. When it heats up u can run it along the area where ur dried glue is to liquify it enough to get it to peel off but i only do that on glue that has just dried and usually in thin lines of glue that are easy to peel. I dont think it will work that way with huge areas or clumps of glue. Just be careful u dont burn/melt or damage the surface its adhering too ie. latex/foam/plastic
