Rubbing alcohol, a clean wash cloth (semi abrasive) and about 30 minutes depending on how much you have to remove

Thanks, but I already found a better solution which works amazingly well. Acetone.

Acetone is good stuff. Can pick up the 100% stuff at Walgreen's in with the nail polish remover area. None of that 'nail nutrient' crap you see in the nail polish remover, just full strength acetone.

Works great for removal of CA and epoxy... and removing any stray of drops of CA that might land on the counter.

Someone here suggested mixing toothpaste with acetone...

The tootpaste provides additional abrasion w/o harming the coating...

The Acetone does the actual work.
