Stuntflyer Posted January 7, 2014 #1 Posted January 7, 2014 I'm looking for a planking scraper that has multiple curved shapes. I remember seeing it somewhere on the site but lost the link to where to buy it. Anyone know where I can get one?

dgbot Posted January 7, 2014 #5 Posted January 7, 2014 Scrapers are nice but you have to know how to keep the honed.

Modeler12 Posted January 12, 2014 #6 Posted January 12, 2014 I have used a hand scraper (flat) for many years while making furniture and other 'large' projects. They are great for long strokes, but I have found them to be rather limited for small places such as ship models. Unless the curvature of your deck (or other surfaces) are just about right for the scraper, go at it. But if you have to make several 'adjustments' as you go along, you may be asking for more work than necessary. Keeping a nice curl on a flat one requires some filing or sanding to get a good flat edge, and then a honing iron to put that little curl on the edge. Again, to do that on a curves scraper could be a bit more difficult.
