Removing epoxy adhesive from an outdoor table can be challenging, but with the right techniques, it’s entirely possible. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you restore your table’s surface:
1. Scrape Off Excess Adhesive: Use a plastic scraper or putty knife to gently remove as much epoxy as possible without scratching the table.
2. Apply Heat: Soften the remaining epoxy with a heat gun or hairdryer on a low setting. This makes it easier to scrape off.
3. Use Solvents: Apply acetone or rubbing alcohol to a cloth and dab the stained area. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping away the residue.
4. Sand the Surface: For stubborn spots, lightly sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper. Be cautious to avoid damaging the table’s finish.
5. Clean and Protect: Wash the table with soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and apply a protective sealant if needed.
For tough cases, consider commercial epoxy removers, but always test them on a small area first. With patience and the right tools, your outdoor table will look as good as new!
