Help!

    I have some Crystalite diamond flats laps. I want to remove the
    diamond part which is glued to an aluminum lap. 

    I used my torch to heat the lap to the point that I can lift off the
    diamond part. My question is what solvent can I use to remove the
    residual adhesive? Acetone works to some extent but doesn't remove it
    all. 

    Also, I have some used laps for sale. I've been using 6" diamonds
    laps for stone cutting. At a certain point they don't cut as well as
    I would like so I switch to a new lap. The used laps, from 260 grit
    to 1200 grit, still cut metal very well. I use them to sharpen
    gravers and other tools. 

    If anyone would be interested in purchasing either a used diamond
    lap let me know. And if I find an efficient way to remove residual
    adhesive I may have some flat aluminum laps for sale.
