Default Beware of Spray Baste

My SD longarm has been acting up lately, and yesterday it started shredding thread as I sewed. I was dumbfounded as to why, so took apart the face plate and got into the top of the bobbin area. Yuck! The parts were all coated with so much sticky mess, and of course the lint all adhered to it. I cleaned it out as best as I could, but need to get back in there and use something to melt off that sticky crud without damaging my machine. I'm done using spray baste for that machine!

What can I use to clean the gunk off safely? Alcohol? Followed by lots of oil?
