What type of compound is it?

As long as its not Electrically Conductive it shouldn't be a problem. The white stuff usually isn't conductive, but the silver stuff is.

you could try using a solvant that is circut board safe, most industrial supplys carry them. make sure it says it on the can and if your not sure, get a junk circut board from somthing and try it first
