try alcohol first for solvent, it should not mangle coil forms. if that
doesn't work, a paintbrush with a little bit of acetone is the next step
for solvent.


What I did for those stubborn slugs was to heat them with the tip of my
weller. The heat will soften the paint/sealant and not damage the coil
form.

I am restoring an old Kris 23+ tube-type CB radio.
As with most Japanese-made CB gear from that era,
the coil slugs are held in place with some sort of
glossy white paint-like sealer. How do I dissolve
that sealer without damaging the coil forms? I'm
unable to budge the slugs with a diddle stick, and
I don't want to risk fracturing a slug by trying
to force them.

Usually a drop of solvent will loosen them. If the coil
forms are plastic it might be a problem, but you can test the
solvent on the end of the form first.
