When I built my work bench, I used my table saw to glue some peices together (like an idiot) and I got some glue hardened on the table.
http://www.elmers.com/product/detail/E730 is the glue.
It's a cast aluminum top, I cleaned the table with mineral spirits, I'm not sure if there is a special remover I should use I tried googling it but I didn't have much luck.

Dribble some hot water on it to soften it and pop it/scrape it off with a putty knife.

Wax the top on your saw and clean up will be easier next time.

Ya, that's why I was trying to remove the glue, once removed I applied some boeshield (I live in florida) and paste wax.

I live in Florida, too, and I wax mine once per week just to keep my sweaty hands from making a mess of it. 20 years old and it still shines.
BTW, I keep a dedicated big sheet of waxed melamine/MDF to lay over any of my benches for glue ups. The dribbled glue pops right off. When not in use it goes off in a corner.
