Re: fiberglass

Acetone will cut polyester resin (maybe epoxy too), but also hard on the skin.. <br /><br />I have also used WD-40 to remove polyester resin that was'nt dry.. Works great..

Re: fiberglass

The epoxy I used for building my boat (System-3) states in their literature not to use solvents to remove the epoxy from skin. Using solvents allows the epoxy to penetrate under the skin. I wiped off what I could and within a couple of days the rest would fall off. I'd check with the manufacturer about what they recommend.
