JB weld. Anything that will remove it after it dries

[EvanD]

I got a little to generous with the JB WELD. Does anything remove it once dried??? Slightly delicate part and I thing a grinder would be too aggressive.

Anything that would dissolve epoxy will also likely damage the part to which it was adhered.

Safer bet is to grind it down until you’re happy. If the grinder is too agressive get a sanding block.

What kind of part are we talking about?

 

[spasm3]

Its pretty sand-able. A pic would help. Perhaps a dremel attachment.

Dremel?

Dremel works well...

Acetone will probably dissolve it. But acetone will probably harm anything not made of metal.

In my experience, acetone doesn't work very well after JBW hardens. It does help if used along with an abrasive, but that doesn't sound like an option for OP.

I somehow managed to get a little dab on my bathroom vanity top. I'm pretty sure it's there forever. It's tiny, so I don't sweat it, but I notice it, and every time I do I stubbornly scratch it with a fingernail...... Me never learn.....

picture would help greatly in this situation

Once hardened, A sander, grinder, or chisel. You can hand sand it pretty easily.

What is the top made of?

Stone ok anything else solvents not advised

Methylene chloride will attack epoxy

Acetone softens some epoxies

 

[JohnB5656]

Wood chisel

 

[Elkins45]

Dremel, needle file, chisel. Those cheap needle file sets from Harbor Freight are amazingly useful little tools.

When you got this stuff on your bathroom vanity top... didn't your wife put you in the dawG house?

 

[KYMISTWALKER]

You might try to hammer it lightly with a hammer and maybe a small chisel to break it up. it’s kind of like ice it’s brittle but it still has a slight hardnest to it, good luck

Nah, this job calls for military grade C4

It's a molded top, so some kind of plastic/epoxy.

I would try a square edge piece of metal like the edge of a ruler from a carpenter square. Line up the ruler with the top of the counter with a SLIGHT angle, so it does not skip. Hit the ruler edge with a hammer. I would worry that a chisel might gouge.

Other option would be to round the corners off a cheap wood chisel ( on a bench grinder) and square the edge so its not so sharp. Smack it with a hammer.
