Title: Help Removing Epoxy from Metal CP Surface *Screens*
Post by: mrserv0n on January 31, 2007, 11:18:43 am

Ok well my friend thought he would remove the protective coating from the sheet metal half way through the project. I have no idea, anyway I hate to have to redo this sheet so how can I get this epoxy off of the surface? I tried goo b gone spray and it did nothing at all.

what is your plan for the cp? do you have an overlay you are putting on it? if so i would not worry too much about it.

I was able to get it off just took a while. No I am leaving it with the brushed steel. I see no reason to put a plexiglass surface over top as the stuff is pretty scratch resistant. 1/2 way through wiring it up now, Ill try to have a fresh pic up tonight
