Epoxy on ear hair? How to remove.

Just finished my very first deer mount ever. LOOKS SWEET. The only problem was I got epoxy on the hair around the ears when inserting the ear liner. Will lacquer thinner remove this?

If you let the epoxy cure on the hair, the hair is now part of the epoxy and vice versa. Epoxy MUST be removed before it cures. You can use any epoxy solvent, including lacquer thinner, but if it's hardened, you're going to lose hair as well.
