How do I clean up after using epoxy glue?

Cleaning Uncured Epoxy from Tools and Hands

For the best results, tackle any mess while the epoxy is still wet. Use a suitable solvent recommended for your specific epoxy brand—such as acetone or isopropyl alcohol—to wipe tools and surfaces. Mild soapy water also works well on hands and some tools. Be sure to wear disposable gloves when possible, and wash your hands thoroughly after clean-up.

• Quickly remove excess glue with a cloth or paper towel.
• Clean tools immediately with the chosen solvent or warm, soapy water.
• Allow tools to dry completely before their next use.

What to Do If the Epoxy Has Hardened

Once epoxy glue has cured, removal is far more difficult. Mechanical methods, such as gentle scraping or sanding, may be necessary for stubborn spots on tools. Avoid harsh abrasives on delicate tools, and always wear appropriate protective equipment. If residue remains, it may be best to reserve those tools for future epoxy work.

When Clean-Up Matters Most

Quick action is crucial after using fast-setting adhesives like the Klebfix Two-Component Fast Epoxy Glue. Keeping mixer nozzles and applicators clean ensures consistent performance and prolongs tool life on future projects.
