Somebody in a recent post mentioned a scraper from Home Depot that works very well for this purpose; alas I can't recall what that was.  Can somebody remind me?  Thanks!

Top Fin now produces a scraper like the Kent Scraper.  They are much cheaper.  Find them at Petsmart.  They have blue handles and an almost identical blade.  I bought the hand sized scraper.  Kent's is $10-15 almost anywhere.  This one is $3.95.  Kent's blades are more than that.

Very interesting!  It looks however like a very sophisticated DIY piece and I'm not much of a DIYerLOL

I'm looking for a bigger piece so that I don't have to to do much work.
