: You ROCK! I've got a straight-edged scraper that I never even thought about

: The duct tape is definately a good idea. If/when I need to run another

: need to make a note of that to remember for next time.

: Thanks again. I really appreciate it!

I would file one of the corners on straight scraper to match the radius of your fillet and then put a burr on it and go to it. I find 24 hours of cure to be a great time to scrape.
