Default Latex help

Hello eveyone,

I had taken a break from the hobby(BurnOut) and have started back. I am picking up on a project I abandoned when I quit. I now need a little advice from fellow modelers. I started painting the bottom of a glassed wing with exterior latex. The paint layed on great but my surface prepare was not near to what it needed to be on the bottom side. Not sure what happened (actually I do!), but the weave was not filled in very well even after the primer. In my quest to get this bird painted I continued painting against my better judgement.

Whats the best way to remove the latex so I can put another coat of epoxy or primer to better fill the weave?

Or, should I call it a lesson learned and press on. The top of the wing and fuselage are fine and nobody see's the bottom 95% of the time anyways.
