It's been on the enclosure 72 hours and feels pretty hard. Will it just peel off with pressure? Will I end up having to sand it down?
With as cheap as Tayda enclosures are (I used a polished bare box) I might just start over if it's a pain.
It pulls up pretty easily if you drill it wrong, is it over a decal?
Yes

Yes
Pull it up and see then, a drill bit through one of the holes should pull it right up
Well, I'd read that some people had trouble drilling without pulling the epoxy up. I decided I'd practice:( Now I have no holes to utilize. I think I'll leave it for now.
Keep the drill bit slow and I'd strongly recommend drilling holes BEFORE you ET. It's a bit of elbow grease but getting the ET up off a buggered finish isn't too bad. Take your time and go slow and you'll get a piece that will remove a ton of it (same idea as pulling a label off). I totally jacked up my first pour and was able to get it off and reuse (and re-pour) the enclosure.

What happened?
Sorry I wasn't clear. Used my step bit and successfully drilled all the holes without pulling up the epoxy at all. That's a good thing. Just didn't leave any undone.
I had previously drilled the enclosure

I discovered the same thing today. I messed up a faceplate so did some practicing and was able to drill a new hole using a step bit after the Envirotex without any problems at all.
If you just coat the top it comes off really easily and usually just needs the edges tidying a little.

No, I mean that you have to remove it, mislabeled?
The edges of the decal lifted Jimmy. You can see the decal ripple in places especially on one side.
