1994 Philippine glue…

[Dirty Duck]

I’m working on a pc 76 still. I got rid of almost all the glue and needed to switch out a transistor.

2 of the non corroded prongs came free but the corroded one is stuck in the board.

Is there a way to dissolve just a little cement glue?

If that's the corrosive "Sonybond" brown crud, a little acetone should soften it up. I use "GC Radio-TV Service Solvent", but really even nail polish remover should do the trick.

I usually use a Q-tip (or generic equivalent) to dab the solvent onto the glue and then wait a few minutes. Then I get in there with a dental pick and start lightly scraping.

If it's gotten brittle I'll just go in with the pick and break it up.

If it's some other kind of glue then disregard.

Superzilla cleaner did a good job. Nice to know acetone does the trick as well.
