Epoxy: HELP; Epoxi stays soft

Hi folks,
after so many batches of epoxi I must have mixed one wrongly. It does not harden out as it should. I´ve waited now for two weeks, all the rest went ok except one big spot. Today I´ve managed to remove the glass with only some damage to the plywood. My question is: How do I get the rest of the sticky epoxi off the wood? Any solvents, acetone? which could do the job?
I can´t plane; I can´t sand ... I´m sort of desperate. All went so well until now. I´ve benn kicking myself for the last ten days but to no avail. So today I started removing the offending bit. I could get rid of all except the last remnants of the darn epoxi on the ply.
Any suggestions or encouragement appreciated.
Thanks
desperate Joaquin
