Removing Resin from Non-skid

[Golfman25]

So I did some fiberglass work over the winter and I must have stepped in some resin along the way and tracked it in the cockpit. It's in the non-skid -- the old kind, not the newer diamond patterns. Any thoughts on removing the spots? I tried some acetone and it kind of works, but is quick difficult and doesn't get every one. Used acetone and a scouring pad on a sponge -- same reslut. I am thinking maybe compounding with a stiff brush? Or just drink enough beers so you don't notice it?

You can warm it with a hair dryer and try a plastic scraper or filler squeegee to get it off. DONT USE ACETONE WHEN USING HEAT, OR MAKING SPARKS!
You can follow up with an acetone wipe when finished with the heat/scrape process.

I had some luck using a rough sanding wheel… like the one below. It’s pretty aggressive, Don’t use much pressure. I wouldn’t use on the finished gelcoat but it did work well to get it off the sandy nonskid.

Drink enough not to notice!!

I was careless and have two small spots of epoxy, under a seat, half on non skid, half not. About an inch long. I figure anything I'd do to try and remove it, would look worse than just leaving it there.
