What’s best way to remove Loctite from exterior of pistol?

First topic message reminder :

Is there a magic trick to removing Loctite from pistol without removing bluing, etc? Hopefully chemical requiring little elbow grease, mine have no grease left from checkering pistols lol.

Greetings,

The Thermal approach rang a bell.

When fitting new Pardini barrels, I put the shroud in the oven at 450 F and the residue comes off with the use of a stainless brush.

450 F should not hurt a 1911 slide, so it may be an option.

Use a wooden popsicle stick to avoid marring the finish.

Cheers,

Dave
