I really don't know, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
I'd try rubbing alcohol first, but I suspect that will not work. Next
I would try acetone in a ventilated area. It is highly flammable.
Then, I'd seek advice. But in a pinch and knowing it will remove
the adhesive, I'd use turpentine (or a substitute). It will work
for sure, but you may not like the staining it might produce.
