   John... try a rag that is wet with WHITE VINEGAR.  Let it sit for a while and it should come off.    Use a single edge razor like a cabinet scraper if needed.   Yes, I know we're talking about a workbench, but it will get dinged up after a while.  Just like a car, you baby it untill it gets that first major ding from someone in the parking lot, then you don't care about dent 2,3, and 4.

   Vinegar as already mentioned or photographic Acetic Acid which is a lot more concentrated than vingar .With vinegar leave it soaking overnight.It does not dissolve pva but softens it

   Thanks to all who replied; I'll give all the suggestions a try and report on the one that is most effective in my case.

   Johnny,

   Great advice from all - when dealing sith solvents, just make sure that it's a white rag to avoid re-colouring your job.  Especially when there's prolonged contact with the job involved.

   First year apprentice mistake - I think we all make it.

   A little acetone or lacquer thinner on a rag will take it right off.  I just tested it to be sure.

   Even scrubbing it with a cloth wet with hot water will do the job.  At least it has for me in the past.

   White vinegar should, too.  Again, don't soak it, scrub it with a wet cloth.  Less chance of damage.
