Default Removing expoxy from foam ?

Hi

What is the best way to remove expoxy and or CA glue from a foam model ?

Normally when i work with monokote or a balsa model i use rubbing alcohol or acetone. I am afraid that if i use that method i will damage my model [&:]



Any help would be appreciated !



Thanks Scott

Acetone will eat the foam. Rubbing alcohol will clean up uncured epoxy and will not hurt the foam, can't say about the paint that may or may not be on it. Also the alcohol will not remove the CA.
