What can hardened CA be dissolved with, on hammers ????

[Sarah Fox]

Hi Gordon,

As Susan said, ACETONE!

A lot of times, you can remove deposits from a fabric with the wick action 
of a solvent.  If the acetone is just on the striking surface, try layering 
many layers of paper towels over the striking surface.  Apply acetone very 
liberally to the felt BEHIND the strike point, and allow it to wick through 
the strike point and into the cotton -- in a downwards direction.  Don't 
agitate the felt, or you may work the CA deeper into it.  Then discard the 
paper towel material.  Repeat.  Repeat.  Repeat.  Etc.  Etc.  Etc.  The idea 
is that you will carry the CA in a wash of acetone in only one direction --  
OUT, and into the paper towels, which you will discard.

Good luck!  :-)

Peace,
Sarah
