I taped off where i did not want the epoxy to flow onto, which is the hypalon, ?, when do I remove the tape?

As soon as the epoxy won't flow which is about 5 minutes after applying the epoxy.

Thanks, I was a little late but it came off pretty good.some got under the tape, but hardly noticeable. a little sanding i think will fix that. Thanks.

Let me run another method by you. Go ahead and let the epoxy wick up onto the front of the foregrip. About 20 to 30 minutes into the epoxy set, take a paper towel and fold it 4 times, forming a firm corner. Now wet that corner with alcohol and use it to crisply remove excess epoxy by holding it to the foregrip just about an eighth inch beyond the rod blank. Turn the rod once or twice and you'll have a sharp, perfect epoxy edge on the foregrip.

If it still wicks a bit more in the next few minutes, repeat the same process until it stops moving.

I did exactly as Tom says, but on a black rubber winding check. I had been a bit sloppy and needed to wipe off most of the epoxy. I ended up with a nice sharp edge and a band of epoxy about 1/16" around the winding check

Like Tom said but uae COFFEE FILTER folded in half works better and gives a nice crisp edge
