Hello! I am trying to clean this beautiful mosasaur pictured below, but I am really struggling with some old paleobond thats already been used on it. I have been somewhat successful with using a liberal amount of acetone on the bone, which I scrub in with a toothbrush. This has worked, but there are certain regions where the the glue was used on gypsum crystals and model clay, which has effectively cemented the bones of the lower jaw together. I've also been using a regular paleoarrow. My goal here is to get it as clean as possible, NOT to specifically separate the natural occlusion of the teeth. The plan is to display it at a museum (Also, any wild guesses as to the genus of this pretty lady? I was thinking latoplatecarpus)

Just curious what the trick is to removing that white residue that happens with super glue sometimes when it seeps out of the cracks when two pieces are glued and pressed together. I have a couple of hadrosaur processes that have been previously glued that I would like to clean up. I’ve seen people use acetone, but I’m not just going to guess that is okay to do. There’s no coloring or filler done on the specimens. So that’s not a concern. Any help would be much appreciated. Sincerely, J
