I own a glass table with metallic lower part (legs etc). The top glass
plate is attached to the four metal rings with some powerful
transparent glue. Therefore, when you're watching the table you can
actually see these metal rings and the table's lower metal parts
through the top glass plate.

I badly need to remove the top glass plate, but don't know how to
dissolve this glue. Does anyone know which glue is usually used for
this purpose and what can be used to dissolve it?

I tried acetone, but it doesn't have any effect.

Thanks in advace!

Is it possible that what you are describing as glue is actually clear
silicone caulking? Is it pliable? If so, you can probably cut the top
loose with a sharp knife.

If it isn't clear silicone caulking, I don't have any suggestion for you,
other than to try different solvents - start with water and go from there.

Honestly, I don't know if it's clear silicone caulking. I have very
little knowledge when it comes to adhesives. But, it's not pliable.
The top glass plate is firmly attached, and it can't be moved even
with great force.

I would at least try a hair dryer. Maybe some heat will soften it up.

too much heat, and you'd probably crack the glass. i'd be really careful
doing this.
