How does one remove non-water soluble glue from the face of an antique bisque doll?

I bought an antique Armand Marseille doll on ebay awhile back. Although it was not listed in the description and could not be seen from the pics, someone had tried to reset the dolls eyes and teeth with non-water soluble glue. I was able to loosen the glue enough to remove the eyes and teeth so that I could properly reset them, but there is glue on her face that won't come off with soap and warm water. This glue is like Crazy Glue or Super Glue. Does anyone know how to remove it without damaging the bisque?|||http://www.dollcradle.com/dollhospital.n鈥?/a>





I would contact these people especially with something as valuable as your doll.. i am sure they can tell you what to use and where you can purchase it.. maybe even directly through them





good luck|||be careful ...bisque is really porous and you can damage it, and pit it. you may want to try a flick it off with your finger nail. do not use acetone on it ....not good. be patient.|||I don't know but there are many doll repir and restore places that maybe could answer your question. Here is one site, if this doesn't work just type in doll repair in web search and you'll have plenty of sites to look into.
