There is a product called "Goof Off" which contains xylene, packaged
in a 4.5 OZ can, which you can buy at almost any hardware store.
"Goof Off" and judicious use of a tooth brush should get the surfaces
clean.
SFWIW, it has never failed me.
As others have commented, would not use epoxy for this application,
but rather a mastic type bedding compound as suggested by Ian.
Should be able to buy a small quantity in a "squeeze tube" type
package, again at a hardware store.
