Removing Devcon 2 Ton?

Recommended Posts

No chemical will remove cured epoxy. I use a small knife with a thin sharp blade, like a small Swiss Army knife. Get under the epoxy and pry it off in sheets. Heating the epoxy will make the process easier/faster. Someone on TU reported torching the epoxy at high temp as a fast way to remove it. Where bait buoyancy is not an issue, you can just lightly sand epoxy, paint it, and clearcoat it. It takes about 10-15 mins to pry all of the epoxy off an average size bass crankbait. If you have a big bunch to do, it will be a PITA.

Well, I used a propane torch and a dull X-acto knife blade, and it actually worked really well. Just had to be extremely careful not to overheat the bait itself. When you get the d2t heated up, take the X- knife and scrap a spot to get it started, and start peeling off. It cools off rather quickly, so repeat,heat, scrap, peel. Did a dozen baits in 30 minutes. Just don't overheat!!!
