Coping saw with 12t blade if you like to do things the hard way. I also found that a drywall saw for cutting outlets will make quick work of it. If you use a jigsaw or sawzall use a very fine tooth blade.

I found the the SoB tool (reciprocating multi-tool) difficult for those tabs.

All great inputs; thanks!

I had inputs to lightly epoxy wood as a beginning step. With no epoxy experience, I do have a few drips and heavy spots on a few of the frames/molds. Some were minor due to oversight. A few others were caused as my pot times were getting too long and application occurred when the epoxy was way too thick. I've since had some suggestions about spreading epoxy after mixing to help increase work times. I'm wondering now about the epoxy errors that I currently have. Do I simply sand? Any suggestions on techniques? Do I sand and reapply another thin coat or sand and move forward? Thanks!

I do not see anything really bad, maybe you could point them out better. If they are really bad just sand them out. If they are in small areas use a sanding block with 40 or 60 grit so you don't sand down to the wood. When your pre-itcoating like this pour the mixed epoxy out and work it into areas you need to. It will not set up so fast.

Tom - Really had trouble getting a good image of the "thick" area. While I do have a few simple drips, the thick area seems a bit concerning. I'm hearing lightly sand with no additional epoxy and move forward? - Marshall

I'd start with a good scraper before sanding, esp with the drips. Works fast. I use a Linbide scraper that has replaceable carbide blades. Gets rid of a drip in a minute. I'd try it on the "thick" areas too.

Dougster - Will purchase one tomorrow. Thanks! - Marshall

Just sand with 60 grit and lay on a few thin layers every 12 hours.

Never work a batch close to gel times.

Have learned "quickly" about gel times and pot times. Thanks!

Still unpacking supplies. I see what is most likely woodflour on the left. What would be the purple material (on right)?
