<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 1505662, member: 8267"]Depending on the date of the repair (though I hesitate to call such slovenly work a legitimate repair), the adhesive might be Duco or a similar nitro-cellulose. These are usually soluble in acetone. Dip a cotton swab in acetone, and roll it over a small area to see if the adhesive softens, or, if you can pry a small piece of adhesive off soak it and see if it dissolves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
