Are you sure you guys are talking about polyester RESIN??

A resin is a two component mix which hardens chemically.
(Model airplane) epoxy is similar and I know of NO solvents
other than the witches´ brew, I mentioned a few days ago,
that will dissolve this stuff. After all, in model usage, epoxy
has to withstand caster (or synthetic) oil, methanol, and
nitromethane. I have washed things glued with epoxy (or
resin for that matter) in gasoline, acetone, kerosene and a
multitude of other solvents and have never had things come
apart or swell during cleaning. Bondo is also a polyester
resin mix and doubt it would dissolve in gasoline.........
