Default canopy plexiglass

Have been working on my fiberglass parts in preparation for painting. Somehow I managed to get some resin on the canopy plexiglass. Any suggestions on a product which might be able to take off the resin without damaging the glass. Thanks

Just resin, or cured epoxy/hardener? I'm not aware of a product which will remove cured epoxy. You know the razor blade scraper trick? Treat it like a paint run; scrape, sand, polish.

Default Denatured Alcohol . . . . .

. . . . . seems to be the best solvent to remove un-catalyzed epoxy resin. I don't think alcohol has any detrimental effects on plexi - although I would definitely test it on some scrap canopy trimmings before I used it for real.

Now if it is catalyzed and cured epoxy resin, then . . . . . what DanH said!
