Well, mineral spirits did absolutely nothing after ~48 hours.  Just
made everything "oily" (and has left me with a jar of "used" spirits
that I will have to deal with).  This is discouraging as spirits
are *claimed* to be a viable solvent...  <frown>

I'll have to think about what I want to "waste" next.  Or, if I
should just fast forward to the propane torch solution...
