Oddly enough, I had excellent luck removing the stuff with hot soap
and water. Discovered it years ago by mistake while cleaning up a part
or sub chassis, can't remember now. All I remember is that the hot
water really took the stuff off and turned the cleaning rag yellow
that I was using.

Might've been a fluke - bad batch or whatever, but it sure came off
easy. I figured the hot water softened or dissolved it. IIRC, it was
Dawn dish soap I was using. And a toothbrush.
