Anyway its really hard to get off so does anyone know the best way to get epoxy off my hands 
Getting epoxy off hands
Hm lol happen to me everytime I deal with epoxy either 1 wash it off multiple times until you see some getting off.. if its to stubborn let it be and it will be gone the next day (unless its a huge chunk of epoxy) or 2 be more carefl and put up some cheapo plastics gloves to protect yourself.....

If you wait a few days it will just come off because nothing can prementally bond to human skin. If you want it off now try some acetone or lacquer thinner.

A utility knife works best.
You will never forget to use gloves the next time.

For fresh JB weld, I just saturate a paper towel with some naptha (paint thinner/lighter fluid, whatever you wanna call it) and whipe my hands with the towel, then rinse my hands with water. That works pretty well for me.

A couple of pinches of sugar is good for getting grease off hands. Not sure about epoxy though.rp181 wrote:sugar would dissolve
Things can very well permanently bond to skin. The fact is that skin is shed over time, so your skin isn't permanently bonded to you...metalmeltr wrote:If you wait a few days it will just come off because nothing can permanently bond to human skin.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?
The syringes of epoxy always seem to recommend acetone for getting it off, and it does seem to do a decent job.
However, I've heard that the resulting acetone/epoxy mix can absorb into your skin, which isn't good. Not sure if there's any truth in that but the site that said it recommended using vinegar instead, which I've tried and it does work.

I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Acetone will dehydrate you very quickly, from my experiences. In any case one wouldn't do well to rub acetone into their hands to remove epoxy.
I usually just rub my hands on my jeans whenever I get epoxy on them, and then peel the stuff off whenever the little bit that's left dries.
