As a note to others who have encountered this as well I have used Citrus Magic for removing residue.
Glad you were able to get it off with the lighter fluid.

NO. It is not fish oil; it's a petroleum product. This is an urban myth. www.snopes.com

When I told my hubby about the lighter fluid, he said "I think I have some in my workbench" -- and he did and it worked!!!

I have learned a lot from all the suggestions you've all shared on this issue. Thank you again - you're all a great bunch and tremendous resource!!!
