Hi Tapio;

Thanks for the timely info - I had not realized that dishwashing soap might be a problem. I sure as heck will stay away from it.

When you say "fully cured," I want to be sure we're on the same page: The surface is hard enough so that no indentation can be made with a fingernail, and sanding produces powder, not balls. Is this correct? At our temperatures (90's), this occurs in about 24 hours.

What do you think of denatured alcohol? Is it not an aggressive enough solvent? I'll check and see if MEK is available locally. I DO need to try another approach . . .

Thanks again, Spidey
