The age of the glue shouldn't matter. If anything it should be easier with older glue. Perhaps you're not removing just hot-glue, but some other type of adhesive.

Hi Will the Isopropyl alcohol affect clear acrylic sheets. I am building a container made of acrylic for an experiment with sodium acetate but may want to repeat it, if it doesn't go right first time. I was planning on using glue to seal the container, and then use Isopropyl Alcohol to break the seal on one side. Will it react with the acrylic? It would only be on the edges and its just for the one afternoon of shooting so long term, I'm not worried about. Thanks.

I'm guessing it would react to the acrylic. It would make it foggy. Just a guess though. I've never tried that.
