Default Solvent For Contact Cement ?

Hello,

What's a good solvent for removing some Contact Cement splatter ?

Some is fairly old.

Would hope that the solvent would not attack the paint surface
which is a factory applied paint job to the trim pieces that have the
"splatter".

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
Bob


What material is this? Metal? Plastic?
I think they usually say to use acetone for cleanup, but I'd be
worried about that on the paint and wouldn't use it on plastic.
Some paint thinner might be better,
I think most paints will tolerate that for some period of time, but
I wouldn't leave it on too long. And try whatever you choose on a
hidden spot first. Mineral spirits or gasoline would be other choices.
