Ditto on the Stanley. I got their low angle and it's very nice. Plenty more than what you will need for this type work.

But be advised, You WILL have to tune up the blade. Mine was ground to the right angle, but was just that. Ground. It was NOT sharp or honed to a fine edge. But, if you have your Sil. Carbide sanding paper from the local Auto Paint supply store, you can make short work of that and it cuts line a dream.

And don't listen to either Chip or Ross. They would have you buying $1,000 worth of tools you will use twice and then end up selling to them at a cut-rate price so they can collect them. It's a nasty business.!!! :)
