ordinary rubbing alcohol is much more convenient to purchase than denatured alcohol. It's even on the shelf at your local convenience store. And it works every bit as well, or better, since the water in it extends the drying time.

If you like to use epoxy as your normal glue for construction, the pot life is also extended when thinned this way. You can use a small brush to apply it to both pieces before assembly, getting just the right amount in the joint.

Just a hint, hopefully helpful.
