Removing epoxy from glass requires careful handling to avoid scratching the glass. Here’s how to do it:
- Soften the Epoxy: Apply heat to the epoxy using a heat gun or hair dryer. The heat will soften the epoxy, making it easier to remove.
- Scrape Gently: Once the epoxy is softened, gently scrape it off using a razor blade or plastic scraper. Be careful not to scratch the glass.
- Apply a Solvent: If some residue remains, apply a solvent like Superclean Epoxy Cleaner, acetone, or isopropyl alcohol to a cloth and gently rub the area. This can help dissolve any remaining epoxy.
- Clean the Glass: After removing the epoxy, clean the glass with a glass cleaner or soapy water to remove any solvent or residue.
- Safety Precautions: Wear gloves when handling solvents and ensure you’re working in a well-ventilated area.
This method is effective for both cured and uncured epoxy. Patience and gentle handling are key to avoid damaging the glass surface.
