The lumber yards have a product called Jasco in the
paint stripper area..And it says it strips epoxy. Its a strong caustic and is a
great paint striper. jell so It will stay put more or less. I havent used it on
epoxy but I claims to work. I shouldnt eat the the reel but I would keep it off
your line etc...

What is the best solution to use to disolve the
epoxy?
Nothing. For or practical purposes, cured epoxies
are insoluble. Which means, there are chemical ways of softening/breaking down
epoxy, but they would be rather hard on your reel seat as well. I think that a
good night's soak with paint stripper would attack the epoxy, BUT also the
reel seat. Usually, heat and mechanical means (such as twisting force) are the
best option.
