Hey,

i recently made a mold in my boot for my FG enclosure and i got a small bit of resin transfere off my glove onto the carpet when i got out, i tried rubbing it out when i realised it was there, but it had set a bit, now my car has the resin smell to it every morning.

Whats the easiest way to clean set resin out of carpet, Can you use acetone on it?

Thanks,
Chris

try useing Acetone, it breaks down the resin. Windex works well too.

once its cured, no. the acetone isn't  going to get rid of it, if it hasn't cured yet then the acetone may work but make sure to use new paper towels every few seconds cuz the resin needs something to transfer to, all the acetone will do is thin the resin, after the acetone evaporates you have resin again.
