Removing epoxy from an epoxy floor?

So I did half my shop in epoxy last weekend and started the other half today. I made a poor judgement call and went with blue tape instead of gorilla tape at the control cut in the center of my building dividing the finished and unfinished halves.

Some primer made its way under the blue tape and I'm not able to easily remove it. I tried some mineral spirits and magic erasers in a small area and it didn't do much. Its just too thick, I tried a plastic scraper and it worked but gets hung up in the rough surface due to the flake underneath.

I know I could take a dremel and grind these areas away and reapply the some epoxy but I'm hoping you guys may have some magic that could help and it wont come to that. I have about 2 or 3 feet by a half inch of primer to remove...

Thanks

-Clint

Pics would help. What’s the recoat time for your particular primer? If you haven’t exceeded it I would leave it and proceed as normal.

A liquid product stripper called Rock Miracle will remove epoxy. Just be careful to protect th areas you don't want stripped.
