You can use oil such as olive oil, canola oil and vegetable oil.

For this purpose, mix equal amounts of baking soda and cooking oil and pour it on the desired surface, then rub the surface with an unused napkin until the traces of glue are completely removed from the surface.

You can use a hair dryer for this. Put the hair dryer on high heat and hold it on the surface of the glue for 1-2 minutes, and after making sure that the glue is completely loosened, quickly clean the surface with a tissue before the glue cools down again.

The second method for heating is to use direct sunlight. This method may be time-consuming.
