Tips when choosing a paint scraper
Are you looking for an effective paint scraper for your upcoming renovation project? In all maintenance work, the pre- and post-work are of great importance for how good the end result will be. In order for the paint to adhere, it is important that the surface is clean, dry and solid. Otherwise, the risk is that the paint will form a surface over moisture and dirt, which will cause the paint to peel. Therefore, it is important to choose an effective method and a scraper that is adapted to the work you are going to do. Which paint scraper should you choose? Here you will find tips on paint scrapers for different maintenance work and good advice on different types of scrapers.

Paint scraper for dry scraping
In 99 cases out of 100, it is best to heat the paint before scraping it. This provides a gentler paint removal for the substrate, and requires much less arm strength. But in some cases, dry scraping is still the best option. And that is why we have recently developed an ergonomically designed two-handed scraper for dry scraping With unique angles, 8 blades and extra handles, you get plenty of power in every stroke, without having to worry about slipping and damaging the surface. It is completely unique in its design and is a very good alternative to traditional dry scrapers.
