How to remove Green Stuff!

[toenail]

I have a GS sculpting tool that I accidentally let GS dry on. I've tried dremelling it off, but the sander is too rough, and the steel wool attachment doesn't get it off very well. Is there any way to remove it without harming the tool? Is there a common household chemical?

i dont actually know... i mean i have seen it pop off a few times if pried... but if it is wrapped around... you could be SOL

Simple Green will remove it easily, otherwise a soak in undiluted household cleaner or degreaser should make it soft and easy to remove. Could always try metho, I've had great success using it to clean my sculpting tools after use, it removes all the residue after a bit of light scrubbing.

Remember to wash the tools with soap if you use a chemical to clean them as the residue can be rather nasty with prolonged contact to skin.

Wal~Mart sells their own really cheap non-acetone nail polish remover under the brand name "Equate." I keep a sealed jar full of the stuff for stripping metal models of all their non metallic bits. It makes Super glue turn rubbery so it can be peeled off and similarly turns GS to goo.
The vapours are nasty, so you want a tall enough jar to wholly enclose the tool, so you can put the lid on and leave it overnight.

Never use it to strip plastic!

try house-hold bleach or if that doesnt work soak it in boiling water for 1min then use a pair of old pliers to prise it off
