Hot glue is sticking to your CD.
Hot glue is sticking to your CD.
many cleaners can easily remove old glue, making it seem as though nothing was there before. as long as the CD’s plastic remains intact, this should work well. for other options, a deodorant can handle the situation too. the data layer isn’t located at the bottom of a CD, according to what I understand.
The adhesive settled at the base of the CD, the most substantial plastic layer. (Information about CDs resides on the very thin foil covering above. DVDs place that data layer beneath plastic, though it lacks strong protection on CDs.) Isopropyl alcohol can dissolve a hot glue joint. Wet a cotton ball or folded tissue with the solution, then gently rub it along the edges of the glue. It should begin to separate. (Avoid soaking the entire CD.)
I placed it in the freezer for about half an hour and attempted to remove it before using any solvents for cleaning.
