Scraper Maintenance

Keeping a sharp edge on your metal scraper is essential to good waxing and repair work. Sharpening a scraper edge is a fairly simple task. File the edge of the scraper to a 90 degree angle with a mill bastard file, and then debur the edges.

Deburring is done by using the edge stone on the flat surface of the scraper, not the edge. Just rub the stone over the surface a few times, while allowing it to overhang the edge.
