Epoxy spills or residues on a mosaic outdoor table can be frustrating, but with the right approach, you can restore its original beauty. Here’s a step-by-step guide to safely remove epoxy without damaging the mosaic surface:

1. Scrape Off Excess Epoxy: Use a plastic scraper or a credit card to gently remove any dried epoxy. Avoid metal tools to prevent scratches.

2. Apply Heat: Soften stubborn epoxy with a heat gun or hairdryer on a low setting. Keep the heat source moving to avoid overheating the mosaic tiles.

3. Use Acetone or Rubbing Alcohol: Dab a small amount of acetone or rubbing alcohol on a cloth and gently rub the epoxy. Test on a hidden area first to ensure no discoloration.

4. Scrub with a Soft Brush: For tougher residues, use a soft-bristle brush dipped in warm, soapy water to scrub the area. Rinse thoroughly afterward.

5. Polish the Surface: Once the epoxy is gone, wipe the table with a damp cloth and apply a mild polish to restore shine.

Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves for protection. Regular maintenance can prevent future epoxy buildup on your mosaic table.
