You're right Brian - I stand corrected... I was remembering that I soaked mine in acetone for days but I had forgotten that the acetone hadn't touched it. I finally applied a paint stripper, scraped it and reapplied the stripper and scraped again and repeated this process several more times until the result was satisfactory.

Thanks for straightening me out...

I have had luck with acetone using this method. I dip paper towels in acetone and wrap the paper around the wood and then saran wrap it really good. It keeps the solvent wet for hours. Could do with stripper as well.
