Stop in for a cup of coffee

I tried WD-40 and that helped and better than heat that seemed to smear it around and soften it up to much.
But I'm no expert on it.
That's the problem with just softening it. Smears it around .
Almost like chemical paint stripping.
I guess I was maybe 14 or 15. I worked in my grandfather's shop.We had a big sandblast room. Did a lot of structural steel, cars you name it. We had a rotisserie to rotate body's. We hired a guy from Israel. one day a car comes in and in his broken English . You get for me 10 lbs cold ice he called it. A bottle of medicine alcohol and 6 beers for me.
Made it up like a paste. This best way, easy.
Well after about 10 minutes he picks up a hammer, and it's jumping off the metal in hunks.
