hi
I mixed above and re did my wood work tops. Stupidly I tried to rinse the bowl out in my belfast sink and the glue like remants are on my sink. Does anyone know what I can use to remove these remants? thanks

I'd ask Rustin.
What is the actual product? Is it one or two-part?
Any info on the container?1 -
Ah, it's 2-part. It says, once hardened, it can't be removed.
But, it seemingly also takes 2 days to 'set' - you can use the mixed solution for that long, and splashes can be removed using the specific Rustin thinner, or cellulose thinner, until then.
You need to act fast.
Your sink is enamel? That should be ok - but confirm.
