In Response To: Epoxy Clean-up (John David Fuller)

: While installing the bulkheads an hatches on my kayak I managed to get some
: thin epoxy onto the finished varnish on the desk of the kayak. There are
: not any drips, just thin spots where my glove may have touched or some
: tape may have briefly. Is there any way to clean the epoxy off and get rid
: of those dullish spots without sanding and revarnishing?

: Thanks! John

Hi John

Just a wild guess but, if the epoxy was cookin off while it was on your varnish, then you probably don't have much choice about the removal and revarnishing of those little spots. The heat from your epoxy would surely dull the varnish if not cook it away. Just a guess though.
