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

Servisol tape/video head cleaner. Can also be used to thin the
Araldite for more delicate repair jobs!

I think that's trichloroethane - also found as tippex thinners

No, they did away with halogenated solvents in Tippex as they're quite
nasty, if not carcinogenic, definitely bad for the ozone layer.

Cellulose thinners will lift it, or acetone (nail varnish remover) but
not once its set...
