Curved Knife

In the work I use to do we had to make many our own specialized tools. One was a curved knife with a three inch blade. I was using different types of scrapers to remove the glue after it had set from hard to rubbery, depending on the drip size when I pick up this knife and started scraping. It was much better then anything I had tried. It got into corners, the concave of the inside haul and cleaned up the outside really nice.

I want to thank all of you for getting me into the really exciting hobby of strip kayak building. I read all of the posts everyday and I am learning as I go.

Thank you.
John
