I am putting together a bottle cap coffee table for my father's birthday. I actually already have a coffee table, so I don't need to build one. It had a slab of marble that I took out and I'm hoping it will work perfectly. Below is an image with the marble removed:
When I removed the marble, it left some kind of glue or sealant on part of the wood that I need to remove and sand out. Below is an image of whatever substance was used to attach the marble to the wood:
I will most likely have several questions regarding this process, but my first is this:
How do I remove this substance (glue, sealant?) from the table without harming the wood? I have tried using a putty knife, but this stuff is really on there and I was kind of damaging the wood when I was trying to remove it. I was wondering if some kind of chemical (or rubbing alcohol hopefully?) could get this job done? Thank you so much in advance!
