Summary for cured epoxy adhesive Discussion
Cured epoxy adhesive on stainless steel is the focus keyphrase here, and the thread offers only a limited answer. Zhenwei Hou asked for a way to strip cured epoxy from stainless steel after using NMP, which removed some epoxy but also corroded the metal. The reply did not give a new stripping chemistry; instead, it referred him to letter 10780 as the likely answer. A later question from Abayomi Adel asked about a chemical for removing epoxy paint from a large stainless steel floor, but no direct solution is shown in the excerpt. Based on the source, the main takeaway is that NMP may attack stainless steel and that the thread points readers to another referenced answer rather than providing a specific remover here.

A. I just finished cleaning cured epoxy from an electric ducted fan with a Dremel
⇦ on
eBay or
Amazon [affil link] and a wire brush bit.
The epoxy had dripped inside the fan unit and gotten on the fan blades and shroud freezing the unit.
Be very gentle and run the Dremel on its slowest speed.
