    Thought I already posted this, might have been to another group. A
    product called "Super Solvent" is designed specifically for
    dissolving the super glues (cyanoacrylates). Available from
    ColorWright in Tucson AZ. Much less dangerous and toxic than
    acetone, but still should be handled with care. Breaks the bond in
    minutes and dissolves the glue completely. 877-548-1439 for orders
    ONLY. 

    Heat will work, freezing works faster, but neither of those
    dissolves the residue. 

    A couple minutes in the freezer is a time-honored method of
    releasing opal from brass, steel or aluminum cutting dops. Freeze
    and tap the metal, poof, you're done.
