Pirrolidone solvent?
Where would I be able to buy the solvent - n-metil-2-pirrolidone - in order to try to remove a thin coating of Teflon from an aluminum part, and would it react in any way with the aluminum?

1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (n-methylpyrrolidinone), CAS Registry # 872-50-4, is available from major lab chemical suppliers: Fisher Scientific, Spectrum Chemicals, etc.. in glass bottles.
