Acetone solvent, fingernail polish remover, CYA adhesive solvent from the hobby-shop.

Lock-Tight also sells a solvent for any of the grades it sells. Try an industrial supply store for that.

Their web site suggest that all you need is a little heat. Got a heat gun or torch?

Gun degreaser and a rag. It gets brittle and flakes off.
