    I got asked recently if there was anything out there tool wise that you could use used straight blades. We all have blades that we use the tips only but when they are blunt we cannot use them anymore.
    What tool do you think we could use the middle of the blade for?

    Tell ya a tool I want. A strong hand window scraper for blades. The plastic one I have is rubbish. I use it for scraping the ps adhesive off my trowel.

    This linbide scraper is a serious piece of kit. I use mine for all kinds of things. From cleaning ps to scraping high spots off concrete. You'll get them a decorating merchants too
