#### 2. Heat (The Hairdryer Trick)
Adhesives become much more pliable when they are warm.
* **The Process:** Use a hairdryer on a medium setting to blow hot air directly onto the residue for about **60 seconds**.
* **The Result:** The glue will soften into a "goo" that can often be rolled off with your thumb or a plastic scraper. Just be careful not to overheat thin glass too quickly.
#### 3. Peanut Butter or Mayonnaise
It sounds strange, but the high fat/oil content in these pantry staples makes them excellent adhesive removers.
* **The Process:** Dab a bit on the spot, wait 15 minutes, and wipe. It works on the same principle as the oil method but is easier to apply to vertical surfaces because it doesn't "run" down the side of the jar.
