This has worked well for me... Find a source for dry ice... be verycareful handling it... gloves are a must. Place the chunk of dry ice (about 1 pound) in a flat bottomed metal container (I used an old cookie sheet, but don't tell Mrs. C.). Place the pan with the dry ice directly onto the drops of glue. It'll only take a minute or so and the glue will harden dramatically and then simply use a putty knife with at least a two inch blade (no sharp edges though) and the glue will chip right off.

Realizing dry ice may be semi-difficult to locate, an alternative should also work. Go to you local DIY store that carries house painting supplies and ask for mineral spirits ... you'll only need a little, maybe a pint or a quart, which ever is smallest available. Gather several clean old rags and cover the drops with some of the rags. Pour enough of the mineral spirits over the spill area to soak the rags. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and the drops should wipe up. The mineral spirits won't hurt the finish on the floor, since it's most likely polyurethane which is famous for is resistance to chemicals.

Best of luck!
