Use the Profile Scraper at a shallow angle with the burr edge facing the direction of the pull or push.

Various edge sections of the Scraper can be used for different areas. At both ends are slight curves, whch are ideal for removing glue and any roughness from the flat surface areas.

Along one Scraper edge is a flat area which is good for smoothing out the board's edge before adding any 45˚ shape.

The semi-circle areas are perfect for smoothing the final edge profile once the 45's are added.

Use the teardrop-shaped hole to hang up your Skateboard Profile Scraper and keep it sharp until the next project.

The Skateboard Profile Scraper requires sharpening once the burred edges have worn down.

Watch this video for an in-depth look at how to sharpen the Skateboard Profile Scraper using a dremel tool and a burnisher.

Q: Is this tool a replacement for the yellow handled-scrapers?
A: No, as the yellow tools are essential for scraping the rough edges to a flush state then adding the 45˚ edges.

Q: How many times can I use this scraper before I need to sharpen it?
A: It depends on how much it is used for. A well-sharpened Skateboard Profile Scraper should last for about 10 skateboards.

Q: If I use this scraper, do I still need to use sandpaper?
A: For a very smooth finish, we recommend using sandpaper as well. However it may be possible to clear coat after just using the Skateboard Profile Scraper.
