Cleaning out a machine last night and found, buried under the years of crap piled in it, there was a tube of epoxy. Just one part mind you. And it had leaked. So now sitting in the bottom of the cabinet, I have a sticky globber of epoxy that's NEVER going to harden since, of course, I don't have the other part of it. Not sure how to clean it out. Any suggestions?

Quoted from cowman57:
Rubbing alchol.

Then scrape then sand. Steel wool is great for cleaning the floor of cabinets also.

Since it hasn't been mixed or cured, acetone is another thing to try.

Rubbing alcohol took it right up! Just a bit of minor discoloration left, but the bulk of the icky sticky is gone, thanks!
