Even inside large aircraft fuel tanks cleaning for new sealant. MEK hasn’t bothered me None, None, None . . . . . None!

It will remove the old glue, but it may take several applications. Please don't let your wife touch any MEK she's too good to be around that stuff, but you'll do okay.
John mentioned using some paint stripper, and I have to agree. Try some of that stuff you've used to see if it cuts it.
Is there an echo on this message board?
This was my father, he died from cancer. MEK is not a joke
