Best way to get rid of unwanted epoxy?

[jcampb81]

Pretty much title. I made a rookie mistake and got some epoxy in one of the tnuts on my aft centering ring while epoxying the mmt into the body tube.

Drill/file it as close as you can and clean the threads with a tap.

Tell it you'd like to start seeing different epoxies. It'll be gone by morning!

[or, what those two guys already said. . . ]

DeLorean + flux capacitor + Mr Fusion = mulligan! Otherwise tsmith's suggestion works.

Just did what @tsmith1315 said. That was…. A whole lot easier than I thought it would be

Is it inside the T-nut? If so use a smaller than thread diameter drill bit to gently remove the excess epoxy then use a proper sized thread tap to chase aka clean out the threads, easy peasy will take less than 10 minutes with the proper tools.

So you didn't opt for the other 2 options? My version could cause some animosity for sure and Buck's version is difficult due to the current availability of a Mr Fusion (logistical issues, obviously), but I think they were generally decent options.
