What happened at your workbench today?

[Rhinochugger]

I have a LGB 'Anna' here..
The pcb etc is missing, but there are still weights glued into the boiler, with what looks like the 'standard' slightly rubbery (goes brown with age) glue used? - The underside is stamped Korea and 1991.

Would anyone have any idea of a solvent I can try to soften this adhesive, please?

Tempted to try IPA. - Thoughts?

Petrol?

If you can afford it

IPA, India Pale Ale?

I would try one of the hydrocarbon solvents, kerosene or mineral turpentine in a small patch to start with.
I have found IPA makes glues go brittle but that may be something to try then you could break it out.
