I hardly ever use acetone any more. I do keep it around, and use it when
I've spilled a bit of epoxy on the boat where it will show later on (yeah, I
do stuff like that occasionally...).

Plain white vinegar emulsifies the epoxy up to and including the gel stage
(as long as it hasn't hardened yet) and does a great job of cleanup.
Undiluted dish soap is also acceptable, at least for use on hands etc,  but
I don't think it's quite as good as the vinegar.
