Re: Strip: Tape residue? Acetone OK?

In Response To: Strip: Tape residue (KenC)

Hi,

I have heard it is ok to use acetone on epoxy and also heard not to use it because it most often has impurites that leave behind a film (could this just be lightly wetsanded off?). Besides the 'film' question I would like to make sure of something: Will using acetone to remove the tape residue 'damage' or dull the epoxy?

After waiting to find the answer, I finally 'need' to get rid of the tape residue and bought some acetone. I would appreciate to hear from anyone if know if there is any reason NOT to use acetone on the epoxy to remove the tape residue that came from strapping the deck and hull together.

Thank-you.

Joe
