I second that - both petrol and lighter fuel give off lots of

shift it, though you'll have to work it into your hands really well
to get
the last traces off.

Swarfega contains paraffin, and is designed essentially to clean
greasy hands. I have never tried it on resin. {:-))

We've tried a lot of things to remove unset epoxy resins. The best and
cheapest is meths. I guess anything else with sufficient alcohol in it
would work too.

I don't think epoxy resin has any relation to resin from trees (except
that it's gooey and is spelt the same).

Paint thinner (i.e. that used for car finishes, not white spirit or
turps substitute) is the best solvent for epoxy resin such as araldite
if it's not fully set.
