When I was laminating new stringers into place, I accidentally dripped some epoxy onto one of my molded in place seats. How can I remove it without damaging the gelcoat? :(

Thanks Laddies. Do I follow that will some kind of solvent, such as acetone or paint thinner?

Oh and don't try the scraper method the epoxy will pull the gelcoat right off. ARGE!
