You have to be careful when using a heat gun. It tends to delaminate epoxy
and glass from the wood when it softens on top of wood that's getting hot.
I believe the wood is probably outgassing underneath the laminate from the
heat. Use the gun, but sparingly and in small doses.

I am wondering if heat will work. The guy who hosts the DuckWorks site
wrote about cleaning up cured epoxy squeeze out on a lapstrake canoe by
heating it with a "heat gun" (some sort of hair drier?) and scraping off
the softened resin. With the resin softened maybe the glass tabbing could
be cut with a utility knife. There would be no dust flying about.
