Whatever you use.... I've found that buying the 1.5 gallon jug of vinegar at Costco allows me to clean anything up after epoxy-ing.
I've even cleaned cheap throwaway paintbrushes with vinegar.
Being able to clean up just about any tool makes using a more expensive squeegee practical.

I also learned to coat my arms and hands with baby powder before cutting and working with fiberglass and carbon cloth. It blocks the pores (but doesn't plug them) keeping out the fine particles that make me itch. I do this before using resins as well.
