: Hi Larry

: Don't know the fancy chemical names for it but when I was doing formica
: counter tops, we used Laquer thinner and it disolves the stuff quite
: quickly. The laquer thinner seems to evaporate quite quickly, and I'd use
: the resporator if you're working inside the boat. Nasty stuff. I can't say
: for sure how it will effect epoxy or glass, as I've never used it there,
: but..... You could test it on something to see how it will effect it. ???
: Hope that helps.

I have used laquer thinner also to get the contact cement off my hands.
