    3reef got a prototype of the new Mag-Flip Metal Scraper over the weekend and it looks like a winner. They made the blade flexible but with limited bend. By doing so, the blade does not get permanently distorted when used slightly crooked in round corners or bow fronts. We will get scraping soon and let you know how it works out. The new Mag-Flip scraper blades should be out by the end of the year.

    i was trying to think of a way to diy something like that over the weekend. lol. when i do have to scrape, its difficult to do without stirring things up to much. i look forward to your test drives of this matt.

    The original blades were plastic. This a metal, replacable, stainless steel blade.
