This is a method used to remove gel from boat bottoms for osmotic blisters;
use a hand held electric planer. It is very precise as you can set the depth to the exact thickness of the gel. You may need to buy several sets of blades to go with it because the gel is so hard. :smash:

Many Companies make them. This is the idea.
