No, I did it because I screwed up and, without knowing it,  slobbered 
some polyurethane glue on my airplane's wing and wanted to get the 
#$@%! stuff off without ruining the $#@%! wing's MonoKote covering.  
Thank you, I feel much better now.

BTW, thanks to all who suggested a solution.  Methanol cleans damp glue 
very well and it cleans up what the Aircraft Remover paint remover 
leaves behind.
