For really nasty scraping jobs where I don't want to use my good cabinet scraper, I got some scraps of heavy banding material. (You know the 3/4" wide bands that hold units of lumber together at the lumberyard?) These are 2" wide strips of high temper steel (from the lumber mill); hold an edge relatively well, but are cheap!

They're great when the epoxy is really green, and leaves a little residue on the scraper...but it's in the morning, and you want to scrape it before work on a hot day! (not that it's a hot day today!)

: I use both a handled carbide scraper and a cabinet scraper. I use the cabinet
: scraper 90 percent of the time.

: I use RAKA epoxy which is quite thin. I apply four fill coats before sanding
: and the scraper is just the ticket to remove drips and dust bumps off the
: green epoxy between coats. Sanding between coats would require a longer
: cure time to avoid the white smears in the green epoxy.

: I use the carbide scraper for heavy removal like feathering tape edges.
: Carbide scrapers are narrow and will leave low tool marks on flat areas.
: The cabinet scraper is much wider and shaves off only the highs. It can
: also be flexed to match curved surfaces.

: A corner on a cabinet scraper can be filed to match the radius of fillets.
: Great to remove a fillet bump.
