For those who sometimes use epoxy for bails, etc.
I had been using a toothpick dipped in acetone to remove any epoxy that ended up on the edges of bails. Usually do not worry if the bail is entirely on the back, but will remove any excess for bails that are somewhat on the front.
Now that I am attaching cast/stamped items to rocks, I am wondering if this is the best method.
I am using excess epoxy to be sure the item stays attached to the rock/cab.
Am wondering if a small paint brush, made from material that acetone does not melt, would be better.
Here is an example. The excess epoxy needs to be removed.
The horse is brass, if that helps. I have never used acetone on brass embelishments, so do not know how it will react.
Thanks.
