Take a paper towl, soak it in alcohol and soak the epoxy for quite a while. Take a heat gun and warm the area (not burn it to death) and gently scrape. If it doesn't come off the first time, do it again. It eventually will.

MEK or Acetone will do it. You will have to rub a lot. If you use a paper towel the monokote will probably dull somewhat. You can polish it when you're done or use a soft cloth instead of paper towel.

Interesting...... guess I got some planes to clean up when I get home..... [&o] Actually, I just try not to get it on covering in the first place, although sometimes it happens. I have used alcohol to wipe it before it sets, works great.
Better yet- ADD epoxy in an intresting design all over the plane! Just say "That's how it's supposed to look" if anyone asks....

The best thing I have found if you catch it in the first couple of minutes is Goo Gone it work's like magic and is easy on the covering it also work's on Super Glue. But you have to catch it befor it set's hard.
