Pure nitromethane is very difficult to obtain and as far as I know, it's available only in 55-gallon drums.It's a good solvent for ink, but I doubt that it will dissolve cyanoacrylate. Model airplane fuel is only 10 to 30% nitro and would be even less effective.I've never encountered a plastic that dissolved in acetone, although I suppose that some might. In any case, Bob has already removed the CA. Problem solved.

Many plastics and some polycarbonates WILL be dissolved by Acetone. I'd go with the nitro first. On Feb 15, 2009, at 09:58 , Bob W wrote: > Thanks. Let's hope it's not necessary.
