I've heard that boiling epoxy in molten colophony for a few hours, like a long-cooked version of rosin potatoes, will also dissolve it. I haven't tried it myself. Colophony is much more expensive than sulfuric or nitric acid, but safer to handle (when not molten) and often easier to get.
These slides from the talk say it only takes 5–20 minutes. I'm not sure it will smell better when you heat epoxy to the specified 320–360°. I'm interested in hearing whether anyone else has tried this.
