... and then you snipped the following paragraph where I pointed out the
case may be acrylic rather than polycarbonate, which is kind of important
given this:
One other possibility is ethanol. But be sure to test
that first, because
it WILL damage plexiglas ("lucite"). That's about the only plastic it
hurts, though.
Plexiglas and Lucite are brand names for acrylic.
