Sand it out! ANY kind of cleaner/solvent that you might try WILL leave residue's that WILL NOT come out. Start with 100 grit paper & finish with 120/150. I have built serveral humidors as well as custom furnuture over the last 20 + years.
Can you smell the glue fumes when you open the lid? Id send that sucker back, if so! But if you think you can save it, I understand not wanting the hassel of a return/wait.

Thanks for the tips on the sandpaper. I think I'll work on it a little and have a working 100 count glass top. I know these Chinese products can suck sometimes but the seal is solid on all sides except along the front and I've got a fix in mind for that too. Thanks again.

No, there's no noticeable smell that I can distinguish. I think any glue fumes would have still been present on the ends of the dividers. But now the glue is on the cedar where some cigars will need to be placed. The two things I know are wrong with this one,......I think I can fix. Who knows if the replacement would have different problems I couldn't begin to fix. The seal on this one is good except in the front and I have a plan to fix that too. I'm undecided about whether to get a replacement or fix two problems myself. I'm having fun regardless.
I've had three shipments of cigars and cigar stuff come in and I feel like a kid at Christmas.
