    Likely a water based glue - soak it a while first

    Try sellotape. Put some tape round your fingers and dab at it. The tape should pick up the old gunk.

    Linseed oil in most cases is safe for wood , gives it an extra polish , and breaks down most adhesives. also seals and protects the wood .. I'd be willing to bet Olive Oil would work as well.. but I'd say either case if the wood is valuable (antique) or painted, test it on a hidden area first

    Depends what it's on

    If it's a non-porous surface.........then it's WD40 every time

    WD40 will crucify old wood!

    Wow, it's surprising what one learns in older age. The next time I have a sticky problem I will try it.
