Is there a way to break the crosslinks of an epoxy resins? Not all the crosslinks have to be broken. Just enough of the crosslinks are broken so that a non-flammable solvent can remove the epoxy resin. Perhaps some sort of additive/catalyst can be added to the solvent that could attack the crosslink sites (break the bonds) and the solvent can do the rest.

Is there a way to do that? Thanks.
