Brian, I am surprised that you would recommend using sandpaper, especially one as coarse as 120, as opposed to using a scraper. I could, however, see using an abrasive paper, followed by a scraper. I know a lot of old school furniture guys like using a piece of glass. I find using single edge razor blades effective. The trick is keeping the blade perpendicular to the wood. Razor blades, with some sort of tool, raise heck with arthritis.
