In this case No, but you have the right idea.

The tricky part about letting it harden, especially when it is a big blob is that the outside starts to harden but the inside is still pure liquid. You want to get it at the point of hardening but not cured.

Now I would say you'd have a far better chance of removal with a good sharp chisel. But even then you will likely leave a thin layer on the wood. Try too hard and you will gouge the surface trying to get it off. This is where a nice sharp plane can save the day. EXCEPT IN THIS CASE. Why you ask. Well it's baltic birch 'plywood' and that just doesn't plane. it will just tare and you'd make a further mess of it.

A belt sander is a sure fire way of removing way more material than you'd ever want to. Great if you were trying to shape into an organic rounded form. Not great if your trying to keep the shape. Your going to be stuck with multiple levels of grit (start with 100 if you've managed to remove most of it with a chisel) other wise you'll need 80. wrap the sand paper around a small piece of mdf to make a sanding block. Try to be gentle and take your time rather than gouge

You can progress to a RAS as 150.
