Is there anything that i can use on the epoxy on the guides that will re-activate so I can strip it off without damaging or scratching the blank. I would like to strip it completly and start from scratch. I was also wondering where I can (or if I can) get another label for it? I think when this guy tried to build it he wipped the label with some sort of cleaner and it smudged all the lettering. If you guys have and suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much for any ideas. Tight lines.

Very tough to remove old guide wraps without some scarring. I warm the wraps with a heat gun to help soften them up. Then with an X-Acto knife I slice the wrap right off the top of the guide foot. Cutting towards the leg of the guide. Then peel off that wrap. Then unwind the remaining wrap. Heat the area again and use an old credit card to remove the remaining epoxy.
What model blank is this?
