You better do whatever you did over again, because it will never set up all the way. At least that's what happened to me many, many years ago.

I would try to pull the parts apart, clean and reglue. If the parts have cured somewhat and you are unable to seperate, heat gently with your heat gun until the epoxy becomes soft. At this point you should be able to seperate the parts. While the epoxy is soft, carefully remove the excess glue with a xacto blade.

Mix up the correct batch, and reglue.
