I wasn't going to say anything because Lew appears to know more
about epoxy than most other humans, but I didn't think the alcohol
thing was going to work. System Three T-88 appears to be a bit of a
different animal relative to most other epoxies. The "clean up with
white vinegar" thing puzzled me right away; nothing short of lacquer
thinner or acetone would touch most of the other brands I've used.


Have no direct experience with T-88; however, have used several
thousand pounds of S-3 laminating resin.

From the sounds of it, appears T-88 is loaded with some type of
filler(s) which would mean getting the alcohol absorbed into the mix
may require a lot of elbow grease.

As far as clean up is concerned, nothing short of stripping down and
taking as cold a shower as you can tolerate has ever worked for me.

Solvents such as lacquer thinner, acetone, white vinegar, etc, never
worked very well for me.

A scrub brush with Boraxo and cold water gets off the heavy stuff
until you hit the shower.
