You know I wondered why I don't do this, use a scraper on soft resin drips and dangling glass fibers, so on my most recent kayak (fortunately not for a client) I tried using a scraper to remove soft epoxy drips.
Now I rememeber why I don't do this. Because the soft epoxy smears instead of cleanly cutting and I can see a light discolored spot, in the exact shape of the drips, on the finished boat.
Now I will continue to do as I have, and only sand after the resin has cured for a week.
All the best,
