I have a PC board that somebody has repaired, and then painted something that looks like the standard green soldermask to cover the repair.  There is still a short circuit under the painted area.  I'd like to analyze the repair, but I don't want to just scrape off the covering with a knife blade.  Is there an easily available solvent that can be used to remove soldermask?

Thanks,
Carl


p.s. I check the archives, and was unable to get any results with the search function.  It seems to be broken . . .
