Tips & Tricks: Easy Epoxy Remover [October 2012]

Easy Epoxy Remover: Sometimes there is a real need to separate two parts that are epoxied together such as after a crash when you need to glue them back together.  One of the easiest ways to separate the epoxy from the wood is to use a heat gun like the one used for shrink covering.  Just head up the epoxy with the gun and then loosen it by using a scribe or small screwdriver to remove it from the wood.  If you have heat-shrink  covering on the other side of the wood, use a wet cloth sponge up against it to keep that cool while heating up the other side.
