Hi everyone,
    I missed Barry's usual scholarly reply, OOOPS, no, it just came in , 15
min. after Dave's.
Anyhow, yes, it was Goof-Off 2 that I have, I missed the 2 on the label, but
did see the "water based."
    I have used WD-40 with success on some stuff, but sure will add
vegetable oil to my repertoire, hadn't heard the "PB" slant b4.
73,
