To remove the dried contact cement I usually just rub it off with my
fingers. It comes off like rubber cement.

I tried something I had never done befo relaminating my kitchen
countertop with formica right over the old stuff.

The edge trim was oak that had a chamfered edge. This proved to be
challenging but not a dealbreaker(the female of the species has
officially approved of the results).

It turned out really good. The job was done without taking off the old
countertop(lazy I know but it was site built (and looked like I would
have to destroy it to get it up).

Now if I can find a cleaner to clean off the small spots of contact
cement that accidentally got on the counter surface we'll be in
business. Our local big box store did not have the factory approved
cleaner so I am temporarily at a stop.
