cleaning off Stag jointing compound

[Tony MartyrParticipant @tonymartyr14488]

I've just started stripping my triple expansion engine down and have to deal with valve chest faces and studs that are coated with tacky Stag jointing compound.

Is there a solvent that I can use to clean these parts?

Hi Tony

Yes it was widely used when I served my time in the late 50s evil stuff John is correct cellulose thinners or gun wash about £5 gallon.

Hi Tony,

I've always used meths; when we were preparing oil line joints for assembly and for cleaning fittings and threads etc, meths was found excellent. and I still use it today when using similar jointing media, Heldtite and similar also for cleaning surplus off surfaces following joint assembly.

Regards,
