I have some really interesting chemical stain problems not usually covered by household stain removal sites. This time I need to try to remove pvc glue from a black work shirt (65% polyester 35% cotton). I was thinking about trying nail polish remover, but before I commit I thought I would get some opinions!

Acetone is likely the best solvent from removing PVC cement or glue. You might check in an out of the way spot on the shirt to see if it causes any unexpected problems.
