What, if anything, dissolves POR-15? I was sloppy and got some on my hands. I cannot find anything that will make it budge. I have tried:
WD-40
Acetone
Xylene
Gasoline
Varsol
Soap
Nothing worked. The can says a solvent exists but what is the base chemical?
At least I am better off than the guy who got Herculiner on his "Hootus".

I use nail polish remover (don't tell my wife) within a few hours of using the POR-15. Works well.
If it's fully dry and been a couple days....... well, time and rubbing/scratching is the only thing that'll take it off. Done that too...

I don't know what else it might contain, but it worked for me. 
I also have some POR-15 thinner that works to help clean up.
The biggest mess I made with POR-15 was when I painted this 79 Camaro subframe. And then I threw the subframe away when I moved, didn't even use it.
