: 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

Hey Joe,

Thats what I use to clean off the tape residue with no problem to the epoxy. I tried denatured alcohol first to no avail. The acetone will cut the glue but it still takes a little rubbing. HAPPY BUILDING.
