Anyway you look at the chemicals fall into the nasty category. I picked 1,4 dioxane.
I have some fine guage magnet wore I need to strip. I put some dioxane on a Q-tip and it doesn't seem to do much. It MAY have softened it a little bit and I tried scraping with a razor blade with some success.
@jpanhalt Your probably the best resource. Any suggestions? Did I pick the wrong solvent? I think I can get all three solvents.
The glass bottle has the strangest top. The lid which you tighten has a hole in it. There is the usual gasket on the top of the glass bottle, but the other side would be exposed. Then there is a slip fit rubber cap.
