Remove bullnose from marble

Hi, I got my hand on a small slab of marble which I want to use for a coffee table.

However, it has a bullnose glued to one edge. Is there any way I can remove that bullnose?

I was thinking of somehow applying acetone to dissolve what I guess is epoxy but a) will that work b) will it damage the marble and c) how to even get the acetone in contact with the epoxy?

(picture attached)

Thank you very much in advance and best regards.

Malthe,

I think you're headed in the right direction with using acetone, but your guess is as good as mine with how to come in contact with the epoxy.

Usually acetone will not affect the finish on the marble, but always perform a test first before using copious amounts of acetone on the piece.

Good luck, I wish I could be more help.
