RE: [RCSE] how to disolve goop ?

[Steve Meyer]

I have been successful in using "Spider Wire" or dental floss to saw out an old servo.  Usually there is enough room to guide the line under the corner of the servo and then just work the line back and forth.  The leftover adhesive/goop can then be scraped out.

What I do to remove servos glued in with goop, is to take a small thin pallet knife (used to mix artists paints) bend it 90 degrees, heat it with a torch to hot but not glowing red or anything like that, and work it under the servo. The right temp will soften the goop allowing you to twist it our easily.

Anyone know a solvent that will disolve GOOP type glues?
 
I need to remove some servos glued in a molded wing with it.
 
TIA,
