[QUOTE="Tinny Fleet, post: 495474, member: 22140"] Hmmm. Actually, I would not use heat. Sure it will help get off the epoxy, but IMO it weakens the blank underneath, reducing its structural integrity. IME there is no substitute for the following: use a sharp razor to cut the threads along the side of the guide feet, never cutting toward the blank. Some folks will cut on top of the guides foot and that's fine too. Peel the guide off. Then carefully cut away the chunks of stiff epoxy/varnish. I then scrape the area formerly occupied by the guide with the razor blade's edge held vertical, scraping as you go. Use fine grit sandpaper if needed. Have done many hundreds this way, and have perhaps 50 teed up right now for guide freshening. [/QUOTE]
