    Kevin, this question came up about the melted plastic bags, sort of.
    It was Neil who suggested using paint remover, which is the best
    thing short of benzene, which nobody wants to have, for dissolving
    most or all polymers (plastic, vinyl, epoxy, fiberglass, Ceramit...)
    The active ingredient in paint removers like Jasco - not some newer,
    safer versions - is dichloromethane (old term is methylene
    chloride), which, in a word, is Attack. If it doesn't work then it
    doesn't, but it would be my first choice. Acetone dissolves uncured
    resins, but not cured, or very poorly at best.
