Fibreglass Resin.

[zabado]

Is there any product that will loosen or remove hardened fibreglass resin ?.

There are tons of products that'll do this zabado, but none that can be suggested as you've not given us enough information.

I'd need to know the type of surface the resin is on, whether the surface is in view and valuable to you and the shape and form of the resin. If it's on plastic, do you know the type of plastic? Does it resemble a stain? If you're dismantling something, what are they made of?

The reason this stuff is important is that there are everything from mild to aggresive solvents out there that will do the job. I wouldn't want to recommend something that will dissolve the substrate before your eyes!

Thanks prof, I didn't realise it was going to be so complicated. I don't know what type of resin it is because I didn't spill it. But it's on an old second hand plastic greenhouse with an aluminium frame that I'm attempting to build. Sorry for the lack of information and thanks for your reply.

Sorry but 'No' , short of burning it off nothing will shift it.

The Prof's answer is better than mine. The problem is that many things are easier to dissolve than the resin is.
I have got epoxy resin off metal by burning it off but not tried to remove it from other items.

You may get it off the Aluminium but the plastic sheeting is going to be almost impossible. Either just put up with it or get new plastic sheets for the ones that are the worst.
