is it too late?

Installed a reel seat last night and must have gotten some epoxy squeeze out that I did not see until this afternoon. It is already hard enough that I cannot peel it off. Before I pour a solvent on it I want to check and see if that or something else is the best course of action. The epoxy is on the seat threads and the junction where it meets an EVA grip. Just on one side. Was thinking acetone might soften it but do want to melt the grip. Suggestions? Re: is it too late?

Sorry, meant to say I do NOT want to melt the grip. Re: is it too late?

I would try to cut it off with an Xacto knife or razor blade before taking a chance on acetone on EVA. Re: is it too late?

Warming it up will soften it up Then with maybe a popsicule stick pop it off Some thing soft Bill - willierods.com Re: is it too late?

gentle heat - a heat gun set to 250* or a hair dryer. warm it up and dig it off.

I hope I can slice it off closely enough that I do not take a big gap out of the grip! Re: is it too late?
