Default cleaning around jb weld?

guys.. i bonded my aluminum charge pipe to a copper fitting (for a bov)... at the joint, i gobbed a bunch of jb weld (figuring that I can clean it up later and to target strength before looks)... now that the bond has set, i would like to clean it up.

anyone go through this process? what are desolvers that can remove the excess jb weld?

any advice is appreciated. i've looked through the jb weld site, but they dont' cover how to clean or remove jb weld.
