What is a good thinner to clean male/female parts that have been loctited?

[Charlie Mike]

I have a few knives that have been loctited many times and are starting to have a gunk build up.

Acetone (nail polish remover).

I use clear nail polish as locktite anyway; it's semi-permanent, and the nail polish remover works great on it. (No matter how trashed my garage is, I can still find my wife's NP remover in the house. )

thx - cpr

(ps - nail polish works great on adjustable revolver sights, too. Clear on the rear, to hold the setting, bright on the front, for hi-vis.)

You can also buy acetone in most Home Depot or paint stores. Usually by the qt or pint. Very flammable! store away from any spark or flame.
