I have some alcohol around so I tried it. I wouldn't have thought of that. Thanks!
It does work, albeit somewhat slowly. I'm going to try to come up with some way to soak the stuff for awhile to save some labor. I'm thinking a strip of rag covered with saran or somesuch to keep the alcohol from evaporating too quickly.
I also have some acetone (nail polish remover) I'm going to try.
