Thanks Lippy,

I was very pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I used a rotary tool and bought a cutting attachment for this job. However, I then found that a medium grit drum sanding attachment worked better and the larger diameter of the drum sander was perfect for the corners. I used a half-round file a bit as well, but that was very minimal. I used a higher speed until getting close to the tape and then a slower speed for the finish. It was considerably easier than I expected. In fact, taking the sidepipe off and on was a bigger pain.
