How to remove the epoxy ?

[yaasaay]

Hi guys



Do you know how can I remove epoxy? what is the materials can remove it? because

I spilled it Accidentally on the grand

....bit late now mate if the hardener was added, it will have to be mechanically removed. If it is without hardener, you can use epoxy thinner of white vinegar....

I added the hardener

what's the grand?

[rwatson]

That would be the 'baby grand' ?

If its on the lid - unscrew the hinges, and take the top down to the workshop and lay it on some sawhorses - then get your belt sander with about 80 grit ........

Try a heat gun & scraper if its on concrete.

You can hope it didn't get a good bond because of dirt, floor wax or other surface contamination, but this is an outside shot. Use a putty knife and see how lucky you are. If this doesn't work the only way to remove it will be by grinding it off. You can try heating it with a heat gun and scraping with a putty knife, but you'll never get it all off this way and some grinding will be necessary. It's possible to remove it chemically, though I seriously doubt you can get the combination of chemicals necessary to do the job in SA. Not to mention this method is highly toxic and not remotely recommended for the novice.

Grind the majority of it off and when the coating gets thin enough you should be able to scrape the rest with little damage, if you're neat and careful with grinding.

I would suggest the above and then finish of with wet and dry by hand.

Probably quicker to cut the tiles out and replace.

I did the same thing once, on the laundry room floor (concrete). I just pulled floor mat over it! The wife wonders why the floor mat doesn't move around all over the place like it used to!

umm when it hardens hit it with a balled or cone end hammer, then chip the rest up? if its flat cement you should be able to just use a cold chisel on it and split it from the gound,
if on wood lol have fun

A hammer on tile will quickly show why this isn't a good idea Taow. A plastic chisel with a dead blow or hard rubber mallet maybe, though you'll still run the risk of breaking tiles. Grind and scrape is the only safe way.
