Removing dried glue from building

This may sound desperate but you sounded desperate.

Try the wire wheel in your Dremel and be very gentle.

Just a thought.

Try a Hair Dryer/Heat Gun to soften the glue... to where it can be peeled off.  You could then weather the building to mask any remaining glue.

That building had another smaller building glued to it to form an L shape   The guy that glued it usually used hot glue but it seems that may be different.  It could be a CA type.  You might try Acetone but that may damage the plastic     Other solutions might be to weather it and add mortar to hide it  Or just put another building next to it

Roger-that, Ben. If I cannot remove it without damaging the color, I'll butt it against another tall building and/or glue billboards over the large areas. I will mortar it, regardless. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Run over the surface with an xacto chisel and chip off everything above the surface, then chase the junk out of the mortar lines with the tip of a #1 xacto blade.

You could just sand the whole wall, wash it and paint it too.  Painted brick isn’t unheard of.

Paul; not sure if you live within the Southeastern US but, Publix SuperMarket carries a non-acetone nail polish remover that I have successfully used to remove CA glue residue from plastic multiple times. Insert a Q-tip into the solution then gently work away at the glue. My wife originally suggested I try this to remove glue and for once, she didn’t steer me wrong…😉

I’ve attached a photo of the product below. If you don’t live near a Publix, I imagine one of your local supermarket chains would offer a similar store brand product.

Or, you could just leave it as is. The building next door was demolished and this is what remained. I saw that many times in Baltimore.
