This is a complex situation. If you are dealing with a water based bone-meal wood glue, like Elmers you use moisture and heat. Ex: A damp cloth and an iron, or steam for a kettle or teapot. But if you are dealing with an epoxy based wood glue you can not dissolve it. The joints of the wood stick and then they will explode, the wood cracks and breaks. Then you are out of luck. Hopefully for you, you were dealing with a water based glue.

Clothing/Fabrics

Use acetone and an old toothbrush, reapplying the acetone a number of times and brushing to remove it layer-by-layer. Work on outside and then on inside. May not come off entirely.

Counters, tables, floors, etc.

Use acetone to soften glue and then start working at the glue. Brush, scrape, shave, peel, sand or whatever mechanical means is available to work the glue off. Reapply acetone and continue to work at the glue.

Glass

Standard Super Glue is not recommended to be used for glass bonding applications. If bonded, soak in water until parts come apart.

wood glue is tough stuff and will generally not come lose with out some sort of breakage unless it is very old. as far as trying to apply something to it to loosen it up the only thing I would suggest is determine what you are prepared to ruin,clean up or replace.
