Long story short - use Isopropyl Alcohol USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Some materials (such as basic plastic) may react to the alcohol. Music by 8bitpeoples http://www.8bitpeoples.com/ Album: Claps and Leads Song: Funktify Troubleshooting Tip: If at first it does not seem to be working, wait a minute for the alcohol to work its magic. Continue to add a little more alcohol as you work the hot glue off so it will break its bond. Thanks to Reddit user "pyridine" who provided the following explanation for why this works: Vinyl acetate resins are soluble in isopropanol, so I suppose a vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer could easily be as well. The polymer chains are simply dissolving and losing their solid structure at the edges where you apply isopropanol, which is changing the nature of the adhesive surface between the glue and an object. The polymer chains are now solubilized (completely surrounded at a molecular level) by isopropanol molecules which is preventing their strong interaction with the metal/wood/whatever.
