Hello SW,

1. Ask your wife for some fingernail polish remover (contains acetone, but is not full strength).
2. Loctite Blue: Can be removed with hand tools (impact driver).
3. Loctite Red: Apply heat to remove - soldering iron, then impact tool.
4. Loctite Green: Apply heat to remove - soldering iron, then impact tool.

I'd think ethyl acetate or acetone should remove it. They eat polymers pretty well.

Hello, you don't say what type of Loctite (Loctite is a brand name for a large range of glues and sealants) and also how and where it's used.
Search the company's website for solutions (no pun intended!)
All the best, Hef. :-)
