SP Systems (the Ampreg epoxy people) manufacture a couple of acetone
substitutes:
SP Solvent A is a ketone blend (including MEK), which is good for cleaning tools
that are sticky with uncured epoxy and surfaces prior to bonding (but it does
eat blue foam so watch out!). It is not as fast at evaporating as acetone (as
another correspondent to this forum indicated) so you tend to use less of it.
SP Solvent B is a very slow evaporating epoxy solvent which is good for large
tool
clean ups (such as resin impregnation machines) but is not good for cleaning
surfaces.
Both can be obtained in 1, 5 or 25l containers from either:
Blakes Marine Paints (who may have a marine chandlery stockist close to you).

or
Marineware: 02380 330208/339667(fax). marineware@compuserve.com
Alternatively the chain of Strand Glassfibre (Scott Bader) shops sell acetone
in,
I think, 5l sizes. Sorry, don't have a number but there's an outlet in
Portsmouth
who may be able to direct you to somewhere closer.
