Noob here. Gluing on the doublers on my second bulkhead I guess I got distracted and didn't scrape of the outflow after clamping. This is on the bottoms of the bulkheads (NE Dory) so maybe it won't be visible? I do care about weight though. Please see the picture. It's a like a 3mm bead of rockhard goop. I'd like advice on the best way to get this stuff off without damaging the plywood.

RE: How to remove blobs of epoxy?
I have found for me a heat gun and sharp furniture scraper works very well.
RE: How to remove blobs of epoxy?
Don't forget the old fashioned razor knife, if it is still green. Best to wipe up quickly, but if it is a few hours old, will still take a nail print, any sharp instrament will work. Good luck. JRC.
RE: How to remove blobs of epoxy?
Definitely heat gun and a scraper to remove unwanted epoxy. The heat gun is also useful for pulling out wires. A little heat will soften the epoxy and allow the wire to be extracted with a needle nose or pliers.

I nice hack I learned on this forum is to use an ordinary hair drier instead of a heat gun.

Try a StewMac Ultimate Scaper
It is easy to maintain the edge, and when done, this thing makes a great "epoxy erasure" for drips, runs, blobs, etc Also great for smoothing the inevitable orange peel that epoxy forms

The internets says acetone, methylene chloride, heat gun, sharp scraper, angle grinder. I do own a Bosch "Dremel". No angle grinder though. Also, I'm posting pics of my build at an album in imgur: http://imgur.com/a/vHeEY.
