oops, overspray on poured epoxy finish - Woodworking Talk

I recently did a barcoat poured (50/50) epoxy finish on an 8 foot table. After my client got the table up to his cabin (200 miles north of here) he noticed there was a slight overspray of polyurethane on one end of the table. WE both missed it when he picked it up.

Does anyone have any suggestions for removing the overspray.

Thanks
Bob

Nice looking set!
You should be able to remove the overspray, without harming the finish by using a clay detailing bar. Here is a description.

I use one all the time on my truck and it does a great job. I get mine at Auto Zone.

I've used that barcoat stuff alot and it's pretty indestructable. I would try some laquer thinner on a rag and see it it will cut the poly. I don't think it will touch the barcoat.

Worse case scenario is to recoat the barcoat.

Thanks guys. Good ideas. I've got a Car Quest next door that I'll check with in the AM. Then I'm headed to the paint store for another project and it just happens I need some more laquer thinner. I guess timing is everything, once again.
