Epoxy Removal <BR></FONT><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR><BR>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> </FONT><FONT

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
