If you don't have any of this in your shed you aren't a man.

Funnily enough I was just chatting with a mate and old engineering apprentice about Genklene and how good that was prior to HSE maddness!
Thinners is now my best friend
Genklene! I remember that from my engineering days, great stuff, is it banned now then? I remember the bloke who used to run the degreasing plant room, he was always high as a kite! Thinners is now my best friend
Of course, you can buy it easily enough without any branding on

Chloroform and 1,1,1 trichloroethene too. Many happy days were spent in rooms full of boiling chemicals.

Yes of course. But one of worst objects (dualit toaster) had numerous plastic parts so a bit cautious with the choice of weapon.Yes you're right though, you do have to be careful with painted surfaces and plastics, some plastics are ok with it, some not so a test and caution is needed, but you learn - it is supremely useful and cheap stuff to have around the house and workshop.

I'd try some of this from Bilt Hamber and agitate with a nylon scouring pad.
Having said that, fairy liquid (neat) rubbed in with a very wet nylon scouring pad would probably shift it - make sure it's hot water though...
