Getting glue off the smooth PEI sheet

Today, I decided to try out the Prusament PC Blend that I ordered.  After putting down a layer of paper glue from a stick, I printed my first part with a few issues.

My question is, how the heck am I supposed to clean the glue off the PEI sheet?  Alcohol just made it gummy.

Denatured alcohol seems to cut glue stick residue better than isopropyl.

Acetone will as well, but that should not be used on textured or satin sheets.

PVA is water soluble ...

If it has been on for a while soak for a few minutes in warm, soapy water first but usually the standard Dawn/Fairy plus lots of HOT water will shift it easily.

Cheerio,

Hot water and soap works great for glue stick
