	Probably because it involves soaking, not just flushing with solvent  
running down the hammer tail. The key is to leave the hammer felt in a  
bath of solvent for a period of time, to give the solids time to  
dissolve. I also use a mix of acetone and "lacquer thinner" (whatever  
mix of things that might be) to cut the things most likely to have  
been applied. A couple soaks, and the hammer is pretty close to  
flushed, at least in my experience.
