Epoxy Resin on Concrete

[Eastporter]

Help! A gallon of West System Epoxy Resin tipped over in my basement (concrete floor). Only about a quart came out (I should have taken those yellow pumps out!). Has this happened to you? Should I add hardener and spread it out? Add thickener and hardener and scoop it? Acetone or paint thinner?

Eastporter:

After picking up the majority of a resin spill, clean the residue with lacquer thinner, acetone or alcohol. Use warm, soapy water for a hardener spill.

That info is included in the MSDS sheets that accompany most, if not all WEST System packaging.

Thank you John. Good advice. I'll try it tomorrow.

Cheap white vinegar especially if taking it off your skin as it is less toxic!
