What is the best way to remove Araldite which has been mixed but has
not yet hardened from my hands?

I have tried meths, soap & water, Swarfega but none seem to remove
the sticky Araldite.

Did you say you tried methyl chloride?....Dangerous stuff....I believe
that
material is similar, correct me if I am wrong, to epoxy and I never found
anything to get it off your hands short of peeling it off over a few
days....good luck, Ross

No, meths is methyl alcohol not methyl chloride. And don't consider using
the latter, it's very nasty stuff, I believe used as paint stripper.

meths is actually ethanol which has been 'methylated' with methyl isobutyl
ketone + some methanol + bitrex ('orrible taste') and a trace or a dye
usually fluorescein to show its not potable (in case the small doesn't tell
you)
