How to recover epoxy resin



Resin Extraction from Surfaces

To recover excess epoxy resin from a surface, it is important to act quickly before it fully solidifies. A useful trick is to use a scraper or spatula to gently remove the excess material, taking care not to damage the underlying surface. Alternatively, you can use a cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol to gently clean the uncured resin.

Solvent Use for Removal

If the epoxy resin has hardened, you can use solvents to aid in its removal. Acetone or denatured alcohol are common solutions to dissolve hardened resin. Apply the solvent to the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes before carefully scraping off the softened material. Remember to work in a well-ventilated area and wear necessary protective gear.

Scraping and Sanding the Surface

Once the excess resin is removed, you may need to scrape and sand the surface to make it uniform. Use fine-grit sandpaper to level any irregularities and achieve a smooth finish. This step requires patience and precision, so make sure to work carefully and gradually to avoid damaging the underlying surface.

Proper Disposal Tips

After completing the epoxy resin recovery operations, it is crucial to dispose of the materials properly. Hardened resin and solvents used are special waste that must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Contact the relevant authorities for precise instructions on the correct disposal of chemical waste. If specific materials are needed to follow the instructions provided, it is recommended to visit the RESIN PRO website, where you can find all the necessary products for effective and safe recovery of epoxy resin.
