The "Q" dope someone here suggested to me, 1/2 pint of MEK and as many plastic 
peanuts or styrofoam (same stuff, AFAIK) cups dissolved in it as it will take.

Worked absolutely prefectly for me.

The 1/2 pint of MEK took 16 large styrofoam cups and could have taken more, but 
as I said a while back, it was taking longer and longer to completely dissolve 
them, so I quit and used it as was.

Nice stuff.
