Removing Glue from Granite Countertop

Q.I accidentally got some Gorilla Glue on my granite countertops and it has now dried. Is there any way to remove this without damaging the countertops? Thanks, Reid
A.Reid-Use some acetone which should soften the glue a bit.Then being very careful use a single edge razor blade to get underneathe the glue and remove it. Do not try to force or pry as it could pull out some minerals. If you cant get the glue softer use a small amount of methelyne chloride(paint stripper)to soften it. Then try the razor which should with a little pressure slide under the glue and remove it.
