Q. I am trying to remove or strip cured epoxy from stainless steel surface. I used NMP to clean it. Epoxy was partially removed, but stainless steel was corroded too. Can you recommend me some approaches to remove cured epoxy from stainless steel surface

A. I just finished cleaning cured epoxy from an electric ducted fan with a Dremel ⇦this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] and a wire brush bit.
The epoxy had dripped inside the fan unit and gotten on the fan blades and shroud freezing the unit.
Be very gentle and run the Dremel on its slowest speed.
