You are 100% right, if you know of a chemical process where something could inject water into the hardned epoxy, you can indeed revert the process, its not a Chemical reaction, more of a process of fast evaporation, in order to leave behind a Solid, without any space between molecules(relativly ofc), it will most likely react with some materials but it will have nothing to do with the physical process that causes the hardening, it usually bonds by friction or by having 2 porous material, smooth material seems not to be compatible with most glues/hardning materials.
