hotrod Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Gareth do yourself a favour and get a Marshall Town Taping Knife 10 inch stainless steel blade great scraper and last a life time but it needs to be stainless steel and not blue steel.Its on E bay £9.50 you wont regret it.I know a thing or two about scrapers. agree 100% great scraper, prob with some doomen is they think a scraper should go into a point(sharp like a chisel) at the end but totally wrong should be a squared edge its for scraping not goudging/chiseling .i grind mine at least once a fortnight .thats my scrapers by the way

THey have a foam handle at the top!i got mine from wickes on london road glasgow (near cambuslang).£9,50 ,i also use a stanley 4 inch scraper(firm bladed one) for the perches from b@q about £6.00 ,best ive ever had had one now for 5 years rounded end that fits great into your palm .
Fair Play Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Bought the head for a garden hoe and fitted a brush handle great for getting into the corners and cheap
THE FIFER Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 tried them a few times never got a good they bend etc , and started using a garden hoe but found they were a bit hard on the floor, so back to a hand scraper

Guest pied 09 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 i got a long handle 1 for the floor. i had it off site the plasterers use it to scrape the floors when they finish up in their plots. dont even havee to stand in the loft as i scrape the floor , just open door and im away.
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 thanks for the info cheers
