hi

we use them on everything,glass, tiles, worktops,doors, sanitary ware.

its all about how you use them, and the angle of the blade.

like anything, in the wrong hands, then countless damage!!!!

obviously fresh emulsion paint, will break down anyway.

regards

Hi

One word of caution when using the scrapers...

Make sure you scrape & wipe seperatley otherwise the two hands might meet and you could take a part of your thumb off!

Obviously done it myself (went strangely pale :o)

Hi,

I use wd40, spray on and leave for one minute, then use a scrapper but becafe you don't scratch the glass!!!

Happy New Year
