The pee valve on my Santi suit has stripped threads and requires replacement. The existing valve and the replacement valve are Halcyon. What is the best solvent to remove the existing glue without damaging the Santi suit (trilaminate) and what is the best glue to use on the new valve?
 
You really only have 3 choices:
Heat gently applied from a heat gun, Nitro Solvent (the real stuff and not the universal solvent equivilants sold by any hardware store) and pure Acetone.
As far as glue goes, if done right you don't need any, if not done competely right Aquaseal will save the day.
