MP63 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I grain filled with epoxy. I sanded and found some areas not filled. What is the best way to remove the dust that is left behind so I can use more epoxy and keep the epoxy clear? I wiped with denatured alcohol, but remembered that is what is used to clean tools of epoxy. The epoxy is now a bit dull. Can I use naptha? What's best? Thank you, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I have used naptha before, but I do not recommend it as I have only done this twice - I don't know if this helps or hurts the epoxy, but it didn't seem to affect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Alcohol is used to clean off tools while the epoxy is still wet, before it cures. Once it hardens, the alcohol shouldn't affect it. Probably it is dull because either (1) you wiped it before it was fully cured, and/or (2) that's how is really looks after all the dust is removed. Naptha is fine too.
