Cleaning epoxy off soundboard joint --- was glues

Mike, Ron...all
  Thanks for the advice.  If it wasn't 5  pm I probably would got round to 
the heat gun. 
  Ron the worst part was this beautiful  looking board reversed crowned a bit 
when it came out.  This client has  already been thru the ringer & its a 
vintage  stwy.

What I don't  understand is the rampant lack of any discernible 
attempt to clean the old  glue off and get down to bare wood 
where the epoxy could have done some  real damage. It's sloppy. 
Shows a lack of pride in, and commitment to  being part of the 
problem - like painting over mud.
