>     so far no one has mentioned Benzine... 

    If you mean benzene, it is carcinogenic and should not be used.
    There are many other solvents that can dissolve adhesives that are
    much less dangerous. Toluene is less toxic and a close substitute but
    still probably more than is needed here. 

    First try mineral spirits then naphtha, either will dissolve many
    adhesives with less fire danger than acetone. If neither of them
    work then try the toluene.
