Dave ....

If it is possible, use the finely honed tip of an Exato blade to break the surface of any visible shellac or sealant. Trickle a little Acetone into the joint. (As in several successive small drops picked up on the tip a screwdriver). Then leave it a while. Overnight is fine.
If it is a manufacturer's shellec / sealing agent, Acetone will nearly always do the trick.
If the root problem is corrosion (particularly galvanic corrosion) - then that's a whole new ballgame.
