Try a hot air gun and a scraper.
Cheers,

Years ago someone I knew tried solvent (DONT) He found the smell over powering so he went and got an extension cord and a portable fan.

he put the fan into the van and turned it on...nothing... the power was not switched on at the source. Next he walked to the shed and switched the power on.

Yes the fan started BUT the sparks from the armature ignited the solvent and the van exploded and burnt to the ground.

How many times do you plug in switch on and then plug into the lead cord.. I know I still do. But how lucky was he to not be in the van when the fan started..

How many times do you plug in switch on and then plug into the lead cord.. I know I still do. But how lucky was he to not be in the van when the fan started..
