  Goof-Off is some extreme stuff. It WILL melt most case plastics, for
example, enough to make it flexible in about 35 seconds.
  The other thing nobody's mentioned about both products is that they're
highly toxic [0]. Especially with Goof-Off, I finally quit believing
that "just this one thing" idea. If the cap's coming off the bottle,
it's under the exhaust hood or outside.
