Assuming you mean Evostick or similar smelly type of contact adhesive.
 Its neoprene rubber in a very light solvent which can always be re-dissolved in a light solvent - try celulose thinners, acetone, lighter fuel  or similar - this should remove it, but try and get rid on the bulk first so there is less to dissolve

Solvents will work but don't smoke at the same time %% or use naked flames

Cheers m8s for the info.  :-))

Must have put too much on, its a really thick mess. 

Will use the cellulose on it tomorrow and will use Super Glue instead.
