Cheap paper stick Q-tip and cheap alcohol.

If I really need to get in a crack somewhere, I snip the head of at an angle and use the newly formed point of the rolled paper shaft with a drop od alcohol and finish up with the swab at the other end.

The trick is to never swipe twice with a swab. Get it wet. Use it for a single swipe. Use the other end the same way. Then, grab afresh swab, and repeat as required.

Who would have thunk about vinegar; what a great idea, gotta give it a try. I don't have a problem getting epoxy off my blades, it's my left thumb that I forget about until it's too late.
