<DIV>Try <STRONG><FONT size=5>Toluene.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>You can buy it at Lowes by the gallon.</DIV>
<DIV>It's used in the AirCraft Industry to loosen solvents, glues, contact
cements, etc., for</DIV>
<DIV>removal of panels, wood pieces, etc. I once worked
on helicopters. That's the stuff</DIV>
<DIV>that's used for glue softening/removal in the hangers. Be sure to use
your gloves, </DIV>
<DIV>plenty of ventilation and air flow. One doesn't want to smell /
breath that stuff. But, >>> <STRONG><U>IT WORKS</U>
!!!</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>Oh, and it air drys quickly. So, soak the glue / parts =
that's OK.</DIV>
