Default Removing rubbery potting compound

On 6/22/2009 7:16 AM Rich Webb spake thus:

Maybe one of the oscillating-face tools, like the Fein MultiMaster?

Don't think so; those tools work on a principle that's the complete
opposite of what is needed here. That is, they'll cut something hard but
not damage something soft next to it, like the saws used for cutting off
plaster casts that don't harm skin. They'll just jiggle the rubbery
stuff without cutting it.

How about careful use of a cutoff wheel in a Dremel or equivalent tool,
to make slices in the rubbery stuff?
