In Response To: Epoxy: amine blush (Marc Donnelly)

From the West site:
Amine blush may be formed when epoxy cures. Amine blush is water soluble. Many or- ganic solvents are completely ineffective for removing it. That is why we suggest washing an epoxy surface with water (water clean enough to drink) using a Scotch BriteTM pad (or wet sanding with waterproof wet/dry sandpaper) and drying it with paper towels before continuing with another operation. Soapy water, or water with ammonia or bleach, is not necessary and may leave a residue—another possible surface contamination.
