Ok so I'm officially an idiot. During my fabrication of my sub enclosures I was doing all the work on my balcony and didn't set down plastic so of course now I have resin, bondo, and paint everywhere. I'm fixing to move out in about 3 weeks and I need to get this stuff up. Is there any kind of solution to get this up without eating thought the cement? I've tried goo gone, and acetone. I've started chiseling but I just wanted to check if there is an easier way.

Chisel, hammer, new concrete...
I have dried resin on some concrete at my house that has been there for over 7 years.

maybe you could rent a good sander...if it's nice and flat where the resin is, it should just sand the resin down then stop befor you go to far...then once it's really thing might be able to remove it easyer...i did it on my work bench once....just i sanded right to the wood..had to cover someone's writing as well :)

Could always knock down any obviously high spots, and spring for some spiffy green indoor/outdoor carpet for the affected area :-)

Resin dosnt stick to concrete very well. Just get a scraper and try to take it off with that, using a hammer as force if you need to. The bondo will need to be sanded or chisled off and the paint well its there for a long time now

Get a wire brish for a grinder and brush/grind it off.

thanks for all the ideas. I went to Home Depot and bought some chisels. I'm getting it clean up, but it's also chipping the concrete. I think I'm gonna end up paying for it but oh well.

use heat to soften the resin up and it should come off alot easier then when its cold.

Try to use a heat gun to soften it. I think it should work the best.

This thread is a bit old but if youre still having trouble use heat on the resin and filler. Once it heats up good enough a good push on it with just about anything will pop it off the concrete. For the paint go to walmart, autozone, etc and buy a can of stuff called aircraft remover & a wire brush. Spray the stuff on there, let it sit, then scrub w/ brush and rub w/ a towel as well even a toothbrush would prolly work.
