I was wondering if anyone have any special ways of removing dried epoxy on plastic,wood, or metal without unsafe it?
Answers:    i tried olive oil and it works, of late have to lighty rub it..i have mine only on a small bit though.
Acetone (available at paint stores and hardware stores) may help some on metal and wood. It may dissolve plastic, so pay attention there.
