Personally I'd try using something like petrol or white spirit and leave it to soak in.

Failing that you could try one of the 'professional solutions':

Hilt is wood, but it's covered with metal. The acetone was working to a certain degree; whatever epoxy that was exposed, i was able to dig it out with a nut picker (my wife doesn't know it yet, lol). After letting it dry, heat was applied to the blade and it turned the epoxy into a crumbly putty-like. The epoxy that seeped deep inside is the one that i can't get to budge and i reckon the only way to loosen this was some type of chemical.
Ariel, can you buy those products you mentioned at the local Lowes hardware?
