Removing construction adhesive from a polywood outdoor table can be tricky, but with the right techniques, you can restore your furniture without damage. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Scrape Off Excess Adhesive: Use a plastic scraper or putty knife to gently remove as much adhesive as possible. Avoid metal tools to prevent scratching the polywood surface.

2. Apply a Solvent: Test a small amount of rubbing alcohol, acetone, or citrus-based adhesive remover on an inconspicuous area first. If safe, apply it to the adhesive and let it sit for a few minutes to soften.

3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft-bristle brush or cloth to scrub the adhesive in circular motions. Repeat as needed until the residue is gone.

4. Wipe Clean: Dampen a cloth with warm, soapy water to remove any remaining solvent or adhesive traces. Dry the table thoroughly.

5. Protect the Surface: Apply a UV-resistant sealant or polywood cleaner to maintain the table’s finish and prevent future stains.

For stubborn adhesive, a heat gun (on low setting) can help soften it before scraping. Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves for protection. With patience, your polywood table will look as good as new!
