The THIXO WOOD epoxy is dry in ZIP's letterbox repair backer plate, and while we tried to clean up most of the squeezeout when we installed it there are a few blobs that we missed. We used the DeWALT oscillating multitool to trim out the bead, a half circle head gave best control with minimal area contact for most of the trim, and the straight mettal cutting blade was used in the corners. We use metal cutting blades on our wood boats in case we find a hidden metal fastener.
Next we dry fit the patch, used a thumb plane to take down high spots the 120 grit discs on a DeWALT Random Orbital Sander to get the patch flush with the deck. The Porter Cable cordless vac was hooked to the sander dust port to help keep dust down and for general cleanup.
