I recently had new counter tops installed.I was repairing a piece of plastic tray and some crazy glue dripped onto the counter.I tried to wipe it up and ended up smearing the glue onto the counter.Now there is a patch that is visible which never came off.I have tried fingernail polish remover.paint thinner,and comet but all to no avail.Does anyone have ant solutions? Thanks Scott

you might try scraping it off with a razor blade. If your careful enough it might not scratch the counter top.
I removed glue off my counter this way and it doesn't look different than the rest of the counter.
my first idea was paint thinner, but you already tried that.

We need to know what the counter top is made of. If it is plastic laminate, e.g. Formica, use acetone. Do not let any get in the seam of the top, nor spill down the front.
ANY abrasive is a bad idea at this point. That includes Brillo, steel wool, comet, and many others. Paint remover, Goof Off, etc. will not touch super glue, which is what yours is.
