Scotch 77 is basically rubber cement. A reversible glue. Lots of solvents
will break the bond. Water in not one. Oil ???  It is a soft line glue that
might allow the two layers to slide wrt each other.
Epoxy in its many compositions is a hard line glue with the ability to
provide structural gap filling. There is probably some chemical that will
dissolve it but it is considered a permanent glue. No solvents will work.
If you never would want to again separate the layers, why not use epoxy?
Bond once and get on with sharpening life.
