That last sentence is important. I had one of the Aircraft Spruce rotary cutters
and left it soaking in vinegar overnight. The next morning, the blade was
completely
gone, turned into black sludge on the bottom of the container.
Vinegar makes a good cleaner. It works by attacking the epoxy bonds, destroying
them, and not by trying to simply float the resin away, as a solvent. IMHO it
doesn't smell all that bad, and best of all a gallon of white vinegar is a
rousing
$1.50 at your local grocers.
