    I didn't look at ct1156's website but an easy solution to most oops is nail polish remover. Nine times out of ten it does no harm to the material you are cleaning, it doesn't harm our skin either, yet it is tough enough to dissolve baked on cured nail polish! Try a small area first, (sometimes the flooring is found inside a bottomless cabinet.) With a wooden floor I suggest conditioning it afterwards sometime petroleum jelly works well. Good Luck!

    Hello, hope this helps you out, Gently rub the areas where epoxy needs to be removed with a clean, soft cloth dampened with an epoxy solvent, such as acetone. Keep the acetone in contact with the area to loosen the epoxy. Use enough acetone to soak into the surface a bit. Once done, ensure you rinse off the the residual acetone.
