Pine tar and turpentine both come from the pine tree and one will desolve the other.
Hardened epoxy is very stabile stuff and will resist most solvents if they are not in contact too long. The low power stuff like paint thinner or turpentine will definitely not hurt it.

: Any advice on removing pine pitch from a boat without harming the epoxy?

: Thanks,Matthew
