How to Remove Cured Epoxy
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 @ 10:17 am
The best way to remove cured epoxy is usually with a heat gun. Home Depot sells some inexpensive heat guns for under $30- They look like a hair dryer but they put out much more heat. Avoid breathing the fumes of the heated epoxy.
A less satisfactory method is to dissolve the epoxy chemically. Methylene Chloride is the most effective solvent, but it evaporates quickly and is toxic. Jasco makes a paint stripper in a gold colored can that contains methylene chloride. It contains some other substances that make the methylene chloride cling better to a vertical surface and evaporate more slowly.
