Doing a household project, and gasoline is by far the fastest solvent I have found ( cutback flooring adhesive removal) .
I tried a solvent liquid ( looks and smells like kerosene ) turns the stuff softer and gummy, a water based product that liquefies the surface only, and takes many applications.
Good ol cheap , smelly, and dangerous gasoline works great. IIRC, Coleman fuel is sim. to benzene and gasoline. I don't recall the smell , haven't used the stuff in 40 years or so. Maybe one of the retired petroleum folk's here can chime in.
Not that cheap ( $13 gallon), but might be just the ticket if it smells less than gasoline.
(PS had the adhesive tested, no asbestos in it)
