: I've got a pair of CLC Chesapeake 16s and have had to deal with
: this routinely for different reasons. I've tried sanding,
: chipping, scrapping, etc. Sanding really sucks with cured epoxy.
: The stuff is super hard, fills the paper and tends to glaze. The
: best solution I have found is to use steel card scrappers. With
: a razor edge on the scraper you can easily shave what you need,
: where you need with virtually no dust. You can pick them up at
: wood working stores and they are quite inexpensive. The key to
: making the scraper work is a proper sharpening. Fine Woodworking
: magazine has several articles online for doing this.

: By the by, be careful about the epoxy dust if you elect to sand as
: it is a toxic sensitizer.

Year old very cured epoxy isn't a sensitizer anymore, just a dust that's not a great idea to breath.
