Removing excess glue from Granite

Hi - I recently had Granite installed and it seems as if where the seams are - there are little lines on each side - which may be glue. If that is what it is, do you know a good way to remove excess glue? Thanks!!!
 

Dear John:

Remove the worst with a razor blade (no, it will not scratch the stone, not even if you try) and then finish the job with acetone (available at any paint store).

Now remember, it's never too early to think about the proper maintenance of your stone. The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is – as it should be intuitive – vastly more important than its sealing (if and when possible and/or advisable) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about routine care from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic! By logging into the Helpful Hints section of our website at:   http://www.mbstone.com/HH_promo/helpful_hints.htm , you will be able to get the short version of our maintenance guidelines at no charge. The full version of it – a 7-page document considered by many as an industry benchmark – is available in pay-per-download format in our Educational Literature section at:   http://www.mbstone.com/literature/literature.htm .
