I really like my scraper

Rehd, I think it was you that put us on to buying the handle scraper with three blades from Harbor Freight. The only scraper I have used in the past was paint scraper types. I used my new scraper on the edges of fiberglass and to knock of the glue inside of my HULL, almost printed haul. I started sanding the inside of my hull and it was going slow so I got an assortment of tools and files to try to fair it better. None worked. I pick up the curved blade that goes to the handle and sharpened it real good and started scraping. It was like a plane. Long curly shavings came off and in less then a hour I had enought to probably fill a five gallon bucket. What a time saver. Thanks

John
