Not a chance, that would take about a year!

If you just use a wet sharp blade it should take about half an hour to
an hour to cut all the nubs off, and then if you use good sand paper and
your hand it should take another 20-30 minutes.

Have you done one urself then? It would almost definitely take longer
than that with a Luna tyre. It's made of pretty tuff stuff.

Do you take the tire off the uni when shaving it? Sorry if someone said
to or not, I looked, I couldn't find anything.

I did mine with the tire inflated on the wheel.
Just take the wheel out the frame and it will go very smooth

I imflated mine to about 40-50psi, so that it was pretty hard. You can
see the shape of the tyre better this way. I then took the wheel out of
the frame and took the cranks off just to keep them out of the way.
