Acetone, like John said, only... A while back, Jon Page 
suggested Titebond to get epoxy off of your hands. Nonsense, 
right. Absolutely ridiculous. Well, guess what. It works way 
better than acetone or anything else I've tried, and I've got 
as much epoxy on me as almost anyone - except maybe Terry. No 
pre-cleaning with anything else, just pour some Titebond into 
the epoxied, or black and greasy with car gunk hands, and 
scrub it in. Rinse off with warm water and soap. Acetone just 
drives epoxy deeper into my dry hands and leaves them sticky 
feeling. Titebond takes the stuff off. Why, how? I don't care! 
What the heck prompted Jon to try this?
