Slightly offbalanced Epoxy-Resin: can it be saved? (self.woodworking)

Hey, I am asking here because I found no better community.

I am using Epoxy Resin quite a lot simply for glueing stuff together, not the other type for like transparent furniture and all.

I glued something but added too much resin and too little of the "Härter" compound.

So it stays sticky.

I read heat could help but doubt it. Do I need to remove it and apply again?

Exactly what are you gluing with epoxy? You may be able to clean the joint and re-glue it.

A USB stick :) it is a small kinda-custom creation which is not well enough secured so the inside can rip out
