Removing resin drip??
 
I accidentally got a snail trail of epoxy resin down the side of my transom. Any suggestions how to get it off without fuking up the gelcoat?

If its on gel, it should peel up, carefully take a razor to a corner and try.

Yea Tony as stated above use a razor blade to free it up and it should come right off. Make sure to round off the corners of the blade with a piece of 220 (or so) sandpaper, it helps keep the blade from digging in.

Go to a body shop supply- they have a little gizmo that turns a single-edge razor blade into a miniature block plane. It's made for taking runs out of paint. They work like a charm. Don't adjust it down too tight or you'll get a gouge. Replace the blade every other pass and you'll get very clean cuts.

If there's no one around, you can mail-order one here- www.tptools.com

Every once in a while, he gets too much on the roller. ;)



Lemme know if you can't find one, I'll toss a spare into the truck.
