Anyone have any idea how to take Resin off pet wood? My aunt likes to make rock clocks and coat the rocks with resin. Have several of these to try to take resin off. Thanks for the advice. Photo1 has resin photo 2, other side of rock with no resin

What is the resin? Acrylic? Epoxy? Other?
Each need a different chemical stripper.
Or you could mechanically remove it on the flat lap

I agree with NRG that total removal is going to depend on the resin she used. I would take off as much as possible using 100 grit wet sandpaper before either soaking in a solvent or sanding using a lap. If you want to polish or cab these, I'd also consider skipping the solvent and/or flat lap in favor of using the sanded resin side as the back..

I would offer that is cabbing or tumbling is the goal, the resin doesn't need to be removed. Normal processing will remove it trivially.

Agree totally for tumbling, but for cabbing, some resins can gunk up or even scorch, so that's why I suggested first removing as much as possible using a cheap sheet of sandpaper.

Can't disagree here. Also, I love that you used the word "scorch".
