I was very glad to see that Lou Sauzedde is back on YouTube:

I just watched his instructions on using and sharpening was are commonly called "paint scrapers". Like Lou, I use scrapers for many jobs in the shop. I also like the steel in the Red Devil brand blades - as I do sharpen them frequently during any job. I have several scrapers - including some Red Devils from my Dad that are many decades old.
I save lots of sandpaper by first scraping down freshly-cured primers, varnishes and resins. They are especially helpful in scraping off the inevitable drips and runs - instead of filling the grit on paper.
All the best,
SJS
