Oh, you poor sole! BTDT !!!

The only thing I've had any luck with, is getting a beer or three, putting
some music on, and getting ready to have lots of patience. If you have more
money than time, get a new piece.

Some very hot water and a big squirt of liquid dishwashing detergent may
help to loosen the bonds a little, but expect no miracles.

I've never tried cigarette lighter fluid on plexi. Does it mess with the
finish? That is always my solution to weaken old glue. Also "goof off"
glue remover may help, but I've never tried it on plexi. It is in the
painting section at hardware stores.
