On cured epoxy solvent will not work....before it damages your covering.
Most likely you are using an epoxy that you bought at a hobby store or
similar. At about 130F it will be above its glass transistion temperature,
which means it will become rubbery and lose much of its adhesive characteristics.
Take a covering iron, heat the epoxy directly with the iron and while it
is hot you should be able to remove the epoxy much easier with your razor
blade. Epoxy is a "thermoset" reaction so contrary
to most peoples opinion, it will never melt nor dissolve with heat or solvent.</font><font size=3>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
Is there any way posible to remove old dried epoxy from covering without
<br>
damaging it besides trying to pick it of with a single edge blade or #11
<br>
blade. It doesn't stick to covering like it does in wood but the blade
<br>
leaves scratch marks on the covering. Any ideas, anybody???<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Ken <br>
<br>
