I installed a 9 inch square rock face on a vertical section of a mountain. After doing the striations and staining I covered it with 2 coats of mod podge. I have decided that I don’t like the color and I want to redo this section. What is the best way to remove it now that I have covered it with mod podge?

What is the rock face made out of and the structure of the mountain
If it's like mine, foam, followed by sculptamold, followed by rock castings, then a hammer and chisel come to mind.
It is a cardboard web base covered with 4 layers of plaster wrap. On top of that is carving plaster.
The issue is I already sealed the stain with mod podge so I can’t simply remove the stain.
I found that if you spray the surface with water and use a fine wire brush it takes off the sealer and stain leaving the carving plaster .
Thankyou
My opinion..
Now that it is all dry, I would just paint over the whole rock surface with a thinned down mixture of latex flat black and water. Maybe add a little earth color to the mix if you are so inclined.
Not sure what your term staining means but I would then repaint with cheap tube acrylics.
With a neutral gray, burnt and raw umber, burnt and raw sienna plus some off white, I can duplicate any color rock you would want.
Just my two cents, I do not see a need to cut it out if you like the casting, just not the finish.
