Title: West System Epoxy Cleanup Post by: Bob Gray on February 04, 2017, 12:38:07 PM We all know that working with this epoxy can be messy to say the least and it gets all over the place when you're done. An old time boat builder told years ago that uncured West cleans up nicely with white vinegar. He also showed me how to remove excess epoxy after it is cured . Very carefully and using the least amount of heat possible, heat the excess and using a scraper, scrape off the excess. I hope this helps.

It won't stick to packing tape
