- Oh, there's one I hadn't seen in a while.

- Get a can of that nasty brown stuff they call "carburator cleaner" - it comes in
- paint-can-style cans. Do not confuse this with "spray carburator cleaner", a
- different, less noxious substance.
-
- "Carburator cleaner" will dissolve/destroy/remove any carbon-based compound, in
- my experience, i.e., I've never found anything organic it won't remove. It won't
- harm brass, but I seem to recall some brands will eat aluminum.
-
- Nasty, *nasty* stuff - keep it off the linoleum, and out of the watershed.
-
- I seem to recall John DeArmond uses it to clean guns...
