The cutting fluid I usually use on aluminum is Goo-Gone. It contains

even smells good.


Thanks,
I would be interesting to try, but in my household the best result of
opening a bottle with d-limonene would be a trip to the ER.


Then you should avoid it, as those who are allergic to peanuts should
avoid peanut butter. D-limonene is not generally regarded as a
hazardous substance.
