Hi Martin and Josh,
That is exactly what I tried yesterday. I used a Multi-Tool with a
triangular carbide rasp. I found it so hard to control in such a confined
area that it did more damage than good. In particular, the gel coat is so
much softer than the Plexus that it gouged the gel coat as it broke through
the Plexus. Because the rasp is perfectly flat it is difficult to keep the
corners from digging in if the rasp isn't perfectly flat.
