How to get PE out of beaker corners?

Hello gents,

Is there a solvent or acid anyone can recommend for getting solidified polyethylene out of the corners of glass beakers? Scraping it out with a long sharp instrument is tedious and inevitably leaves minute residue.

None of the usual suspects work because PE is so very chemically stable.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! :-)

Thanks,

Worth trying N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Boils at 202 C so take care. It might soften the PE but probably won't dissolve it completely, Good luck!
