I found the perfect tool: a large diameter grindstone in a fixed position Dremel (i.e. mounted in a press or something). It's perfect for very quickly knocking the bumps off and you can make the edges as close to flat as your eyesight and hands allow. Getting rid of the whole bump is important for minimizing the hassle of pasting with a stencil (any little bump can cause the alignment to be messed up). But it also makes the boards much more attractive.

But folks, be sure to wear a good mask. I can only think of one thing worse than fiberglass dust getting into the lungs. The good shop masks with the "easy exhale" valves seem to work very well for me.
