I suspect he did mean silicone. Interestingly, neither silicone nor 
epoxy are particularly soluble in the solvents being discussed.

Water may be best, as it lets one abrade with a nylon scrubber and roll 
off and cheaply flush debris away from any thin remaining silicone.

The other solvents (acetone, paint thinner, alcohol) are mostly useful 
for degreasing the bond area, which will, maybe, help adhesion if it was 
allowed to be contaminated with oil or grease (like fingerprints?).
