Gorilla Glue on chair?

Question

I glued two dark brown wood chairs with Gorilla Glue to fix the back of the chairs , and it ran down the chair backs. I didn*t notice it until it was hard as a rock. I now have yellow glue runners on my dark chairs.. Any help to remove it? I tried painting over it with stain , but no help there.

Answer 1

Scrape off the excess glue, sand the wood where the glue was until you can't see the glue stain any more, then stain. Note that the wood is poreous, so you may have to sand down some to get enough of the glue out to not see the marks. You could also just paint over it, the paint will cover better.

Answer 2

Working in a Retail store, we have many people who come in and ask the same qustion. One thing I tell them is sand the marks down until you see absoulty no glue. The only one problem with Gorilla Glue is it, in most cases is "OVERKILL" in less you where gluing you're fingers together it makes a bigger mess than you would think is even possible.It also goes deeper in the pores than origanal glue, and is very difficult to clean -up or pull away from a surface. Next time I'd recomend GOOD OLD Elmers wood glue, P>S. Easier to clean-up also Any other problems give me an e-mail at [e-mail] I am very intelligent in this area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

You should have used GOOP. It is stronger than Gorilla Glue, and it dries crystal clear. I love the stuff.

Goof Off removes glue, paint, ink, gum, etc... Dry a little Goof Off with a razor to scrape it.

Answer 4

Your best bet is to try and use a blunt edged tool - putty knife, butter knife, etc. - and carefully try to break it off. Place whatever you decide to use as flat as possible next to the drip and try to push it off.

If that doesn't work, your only other options are to try and "shave" them off with a utility knife or razor blade, or sand them off very carefully.

If you choose the razor blade route, try shaving it down until you get close to the surface of the chair and then stand the razor up and scrape the rest of it off.

Then you can go back over and minor scratches in the finish with your stain.

Answer 5

try to remove the glue with a razer or box cutter. if you want you could sand it off also. then use a primer before you paint it, unless you are staining it. good luck!

Answer 6

try a bottle of goof off it works with regular wood glue it might be worth a try

Answer 7

carefullly scrape it with a razor or something sharp, then stain it again
