Hi Tom,

I have been using a Sandvik carbide blade scraper with great results. I use it on epoxy that is too green to sand as well as on fully cured epoxy. The 2" blade has a slight rocker so is good for feathering the edge of the fiberglass tape as well.

The edge lasts a long time, I have not had to turn the blade over (it is double edged) yet.
