Denatured alcohol would be my first choice.  It's fairly innocuous
health-wise and a fair solvent for some glues.  Miscible with water.
Found in hardware and paint stores for thinning lacquer.  If that
fails --

Acetone would be a good second try.  It can be found in hardware stores
by the pint, or in fingernail polish remover by the half ounce.  Like
most useful solvents it's volatile and flammable.  Have some positive
ventilation going and watch sparks and open flames.

Tri-chloro-ethylene:  Handles most everything.  Not nice to the nervous
system.  I haven't any idea as to its availability; I get mine from
a local chemical supplier.

Having had one ether fire, I strongly recommend not using it.  It's
extremely volatile and can carry a flame an amazing distance.
