My recommendation is to use a putty knife, or something along those
lines, to cut the adhesive. Put the putty knife up to the joint and
lightly tap the end of the handle with a hammer to work it in. Do this
all around or until you can get the piece of glass off. Once the glass
is off you can scrape off the rest of the adhesive from the base with
the putty knife, or a razor or other paint scraper type thing. -- H

Thanks for the advice. I checked out Pier 1 and they do have the round
glass tops that will fit just right.

I vaccumed the mess up and now I have one thing to do before I can
install the new glass.

There's one chunk that's still attached to the metal column. It's about
a 4" round piece that is stuck to the metal column.

What kind of adhesive remover do I use to seperate that piece of glass
that is firmly stuck to the metal?

Also, what's a heat gun and where can I find one?

The table is really very very very heavy and it will take a lot of
effort to take it to a glass shop which is why I want to do it myself.

Home-improvement stores also carry the round table-top glass pre-cut.

3. If I want to take it to a glass shop to get it done, typically how
much will it cost to do this kind of thing? Will they just charge for
the glass or will they charge for the labor involved in removing the
old glass and fixing the new one?

If you have any Pier 1 stores in your area, I have seen just round
glass tops for sale there at very reasonable price. They had different
sizes.
