Default Acrylic sealant removal?

The only way I've found of removing the bulk of it is by 'hot air gun'
however small traces of it are still left behind.

Using the hot air gun and a piece of sharp wood as a scraper this removes
99% any one know how to ge rid of the 1% traces?

Paint stripper and steel wool, but it will also make short work of any
other synthetic materials in the vicinity.

Angle grinder.

(I was waiting for someone else to say it. It is a kind of tradition around
here after all).
