Epoxy removal from blank

Rookie mistake here.....missed come cleanup of ProKote when installing cork grip and now I've got dried epoxy on the blank in front of the fore grip. How do I remove it without damaging the blank?

The good news is rod finishes aren't known for their adhesive qualities, so they come off fairly easy, lots of info in the search function here to help you. Worse case scenario is to cover it with a decorative wrap, hook keeper wrap, etc.

As mentioned, use the "search" feature to find past discussions on the subject. A lot will depend upon whether it is a color coated blank or not. Extreme care will need to be taken on a color coated, as it is very easy to damage the coating.

Dan,
Just use a razor blade and scrape off the epoxy.
If you end up with a bare blank, just do a decorative wrap at that location.
Be safe

If the finish on the blank is glossy - warm the epoxy & it will pop off with a thumb nail or the edge of a plastic credit card... much less chance of damaging the blank than with a razor blade

Warm it and use the credit card.
