I managed to drip polyurethane on a tile floor while finishing my last woodworking project. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it until after it had dried. What can I use to dissolve and remove it?
Thanks, SW

Ceramic Tile? Scrap it up with a straight edged razor blade.
The fine print on the can should tell you what to use. Chances are it's lacquer thinner or paint remover.
If the tile has a glossy finish it may not adhere to tile so well that you might be able to scrape it off with a fingernail, or maybe lift it off with a razor blade.

A scraper, sharp chisel, or sharp plane blade. Shave it off, you probably won't dissolve it without ruining what it's stuck to.
I would have said C-4 but I have to admire your penache (what the hell... style!)
Shaped charged? Yea, that should blow that spill right off of there. :)
Try acetone. You can get it at Home Depot.
