Yellow Epoxy Like Material on PCB?

[BuddyBoy]

I've seen the black epoxy on various pcbs to encapsulate it. I've also seen plenty of times a Clear coating. But this is my first time seeing this yellow stuff? Any idea what it is?

My guess would be a two part polyurethane, being used there to protect surface components from vibration, physical and environmental damage.

Hey thanks. Any idea on how to remove it without damaging the PCB or what's underneath it?

Is that a high voltage PCB?

You could try paint stripper; dichloromethane, but first read this.

Hey thanks. It's a 12 V DC circuit, so I don't think so.

Why do you want to remove it?

If you knew exactly what it was, you could probably find out what the recommended removal chemical is. But as @Baluncore implies, such chemicals are usually pretty dangerous and should not be used unless you have access to a chemical fume hood and experience using hazardous chemicals.
