What You’ll Need

• Heavy Duty Scraper for Paint and Epoxy Resin Removal – For effective manual lifting of old resin layers
• Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula – To clean up sticky residue safely after scraping
• Protective gloves, dust mask, and goggles
• Sturdy bin bags or disposal containers for waste
• Rags or scrubbing pads

Manually Scrape Away the Resin Layer

Start removal at one edge of the flooring, applying firm but controlled pressure to lift the resin. Use the Heavy Duty Scraper for Paint and Epoxy Resin Removal on small sections at a time, holding the tool at a low angle to the floor to minimise gouging. Work systematically in manageable sections, repositioning yourself frequently for optimal leverage. If the resin is particularly thick, scoring it first with the scraper’s edge may help, but avoid aggressive actions that could damage the substrate.

Clear Remaining Adhesive or Residue

Once the majority of the resin is removed, you may notice leftover patches of adhesive or stubborn residues. Avoid harsh chemical stripping agents that can damage the floor or release harmful fumes indoors. Instead, apply the Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula to affected areas. Allow the product to sit as recommended, then use rags or scrubbing pads to remove loosened residue. A second scraping pass may be beneficial for particularly tough spots.

Dispose of Waste and Clean Up

Collect all debris and removed material in sturdy bin bags, ensuring you comply with local waste disposal regulations. Sweep or vacuum the area thoroughly, and wipe down the surface with a damp cloth or mop to finalise the cleaning process. Proper clean-up ensures the space is ready for either a new flooring application or safe everyday use.

Tips, Common Mistakes, and Troubleshooting

Allow tools to do the work – avoid excessive force, which can damage the substrate beneath. Always use appropriate protective equipment when scraping and handling residues. Test all products on a small area first to ensure compatibility with your underlying floor material. If encountering exceptionally thick or old resin, patience and repeated gentle passes are often more effective (and safer) than aggressive techniques. Should you find very stubborn areas that resist manual removal, consider consulting a flooring specialist for advice before attempting solutions like mechanical sanders or solvents.
