Well, here's what I ended up doing, scroll down to todays date to see my entry:

But to put it into a nutshell it was Dawn Power Dissolver that came through although I had my doubts but I always game to try something new. And yes, it was at the suggestion of my better half as she is much smarter most days then I am, hate to admit that!
For the record it got the majority of the gunk off but I will have to do some more cleaning to get it "really" clean so I can start patching. A quick session with steel wool and maybe rub down of alcohol to really clean it up. From the pictures one can tell how thick it was and now I have a clean slate work on! Gotta love an easy fix!
Have a great holiday all!
