I tried it, it worked great. What a miracle. It took care of all the house work. The leaves I've been meaning to clear off the roof, gone. Dirty siding, I'll never have to clean it again. It even took care of the haircut I've been putting off. THANKS!!! You keep them good ideas coming.

Coleman fuel softens it so it can be scraped off. It is cleaner than gasoline. And doesnt leave any residue. MEK aparently also works but haven't tried yet.

I think your assumption that HH posters follow up their posts
and look for replies is flawed.

A few have responded, not many, certainly, but a few have.

On Usenet, we don't see old posts, only the most recent replies.

But if we were reading 12 years ago, we might still have the post in our computer. I use an old version of Agent, 1.93, and it can't handle 12
years of AHR, but maybe version 8 can. OTOH, if the one from 12 years
ago is there, replies will follow right after it, and we won't see the
replies.

Life is so complicated.

My tube list toluene so that might work or possibly xylene. Xylene is methylated toluene and benzene.

And I have a gallon of it (thank you very much Wally) . I think Lexel caulking is the same thing as SG , I'll try some of that solvent and see

"Methylated" means that it has a methyl group (CH3) attached. A benzene molecule is six carbon atoms in a ring, with a hydrogen atom attached to each one, C6H6. A toluene is a benzene molecule with one of the hydrogens replaced by a methyl group, C7H8 (
or C6H5-CH3).

Xylene is a benzene molecule with two of its hydrogens replaced by methyl groups. They can be right beside each other on the ring, separated by one hydrogen, or across from each other. So there are three different kinds of xylene, all with the same
chemical formula. But they have slightly different physical and chemical properties. For the purpose of dissolving Shoe Goo, I doubt if it makes any difference which one is used. They'd all work (or not work) about the same.

Use a razor knife to cut away the cured adhesive, being careful not to cut your self or your shoe. If you can get the adhesive thin enough it will be weaker than the material of your shoe and you can then simply pull it apart. After you get your glued
pieces apart use a coarse sandpaper to continue the removal of the glue. Or throw the shoes away and buy new ones.
