Epoxy Resin Clean-Up

[Reel Poor]

What would you recommend to clean up tools and ect after working with epoxy resin. Acetone seems to just gum up. Mineral spirits won't touch it. I haven't tried lacquer thinner.

Try household vinegar. Dunno why it works, but it does seem to do the job.

White vinegar, yup. Or if they're metal tools just let it harden and it usually just chips off. Found out the hard way it's a bugger to comb hardened epoxy from you hair! ;-) If I wanted to smell like a french fry I'd of tried the vinegar!
