I removed a trace of glue

During a boat trip, I stored my sunglasses at the bottom of a bag, without a case, along with everything else. A spot of glue ended up on one of the lenses. I tried every gentle product I could think of : dish soap, alcohol wipes, but nothing worked. It was impossible to remove.

Yesterday, I forgot this pair of sunglasses in my car under the sun. They became very hot, and I noticed that the glue had started to bead. When I ran my finger over it, the glue came off easily.

This is the level of dull I want from this community.

Hats off to those blokes who achieve something interesting, but THIS is content.

These are the kinds of problems I like the most: I once squirted some ketchup on my new shoes while we were out drinking. Ignored it, the next day when it was dry I could pull it off without even a discoloration. If I had used a towel to wipe it off, the shoes would have been ruined.

Less work, more results, that's what I like

Any problem properly ignored will go away

A lucky discovery! And it's always better to be lucky than good.

You can look up the expansion coefficient of materials to see what will work well with that, freezing can also work too.
