Applied everything with some elbow grease and Scotchbrite. Zip.

You can see the yellowed paper/foam stuff in the photos above. When you scrape it down to the last layer, it seems like the hardest laquered paper. Very smooth, so smooth and hard that Scothbrite doesn't seem to be able to get a bite on it.

I'm reluctant to get out the grinder. Maybe just get it down as much as possible and then Proseal it?

Help! Zep
One last resort. Diesel fuel or Kerosene. They evaporate more slowly than gasoline, acetone, laquer thinner, even mineral spirits. You can also try a cookie wheel in an angle grinder, they are available in different grades of coarseness.
Other than that, a packet of plastic razor blades is $.79 at Napa, but man is it slow going.
