The phrase identifies a set of procedures focused on removing unwanted residues or contaminants from cured or uncured resin materials. These procedures typically involve the application of solvents, mechanical abrasion, or a combination of both to restore the resin’s original appearance or functionality. For instance, the removal of epoxy resin drips from a workbench necessitates such methods to prevent permanent adhesion and maintain a clean workspace.
Effective maintenance of resin-based items or equipment is vital for longevity, performance, and aesthetic value. Addressing residue buildup or contamination can prevent discoloration, degradation, and compromised functionality. Historically, techniques have evolved from simple manual scraping to sophisticated chemical cleaning processes, reflecting advancements in resin technology and cleaning agents.
