I posted last week to the effect that the decorative strip had become detached and I got several helpful responses regarding the best glue to use.
Here's the strip - there's glue residue along the length of it. Should I attempt to remove that and, if so, what can I use that won't affect the material?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

| The strip is aluminum so not too much can hurt it short of ammonia based cleaners. Lacquer thinner would do it but not good to breathe - sand paper takes the most work but is safe and does a good job. |

Lighter fluid is probably a good option.

| A razor blade scraper would probably also do the job, if the glue residue is dry. Make sure the wood is equally flattened before applying the glue. |

| Goo Gone is a good prospective solvent. In any case, it won't hurt anything. |

Acetone will do it, just put it on good, let it set few minutes and old glue will peel tight off.
Goo gone did nothing to last one I did and neither did paint thinner. Acetone works great. Also, a blow torch will burn it off, just don’t get strip too hot to warp.
