Default Body glue removal? Hard as sh*t!!!

Is there any way to remove this body glue from the engine bay? I am smack in the middle of a wire tuck and shave job, and it just took me 2 hours to get all the glue off of the easy parts of the bay(front of strut towers and along the frame rails). I have yet to get to the hard to get to spots(in the cracks) and I am wondering if there is something I can use to help with this part of the project? Is there a tool that can help get it out of the cracks? LMK. Thanks in advance.

Is there some kind of solvent that might do it without messing up the metal?

You should ask in the shaved, tucked, and custom bays group thread.

I'm curious to know this too. What do you do once it's off? Do you have to weld the joint? I'm really not sure what the purpose of the glue is..

Ya you weld it but I need some suggestions on how to get it out of the cracks so that I can get a good weld on it.
