Get it at an auto parts store. Ive used it for other epoxy but not AS. It takes a bit of work. Soften it up first with the stuff then you can chip it very gently or rub it off slowly.

I daresay you are more likely to break whatever is epoxied than get the epoxy off safe and sound. Epoxy is meant to be permanent, and it generally tries to stay that way.
Can be sanded off also

Depending on where it is this could help but carb cleaner does the job. I have some AS epoxy but after spending an hour removing some from a vid card chip, decided on using less permanent method.
If you must use epoxy and think you might remove some day use a dab on each corner and as grease in the middle.

nail polish remover works great!
