Carla,

    I have found lacquer thinner to work better to release and clean up
    epoxy. Sometimes when epoxy is tacky after a day or so, that tells
    me the mix wasn't right or the environment was correct for the epoxy
    to set up. 

    Here is a tip for the warmer months, take a can of pop, turn it
    upside down and mix the epoxy in the concave bottom, the cool
    temperature of the pop will keep the epoxy from setting up to fast. 

Jerry
