| Binding Scraper |

| This a 1” Red Devil paint scraper that will function exceptionally well as a binding scraper when properly sharpened. |

| I bind my guitars with wood but I am sure this scraper will work equally as well with plastic. Most of the time it is necessary to hold the tool at a slight angle and also test to see if you are working with the grain. No Chatter. |

| I sharpen mine using my 1” belt sander. A file or sanding block will also work. Work the outside edge to a 45 degree angle as straight across as possible. |

| To prevent gouging the area near the surface to be scraped it is necessary to knock off the corners off the blade. |

| Last, using a fine diamond file gently remove the burr on the inside of the blade. The resulting cutting edge will be razor sharp. I have found that the working angle of the tools is very effective. This may be the most useful tool in my shop. |
