In Response To: Epoxy: How do you take off Blush (Jack Sanderson)

: What is the best way to remove Blush from an epoxy surface

: I was rushing to get my RBA glassed before vacation but I ran out of time.
: I'm back after a week and all I have left is to glass the inside of the deck.
: I did an initial saturation coat with fast hardener and now after a week
: I've got a couple of spots where the epoxy blushed. I have never had to
: take it off before but I heard of folks on this board using soap water and
: a scrub brush.

: Any hints?

: Jack

Hi Jack, I use warm water with a few drops of vinegar and a "Scotchbrite" pad. Then I rinse with clean warm water and dry with paper towels. This procedure was recommended to me by an epoxy manufacturer's head chemist and gives me good results.
