    Default Mould Line Removal Tool/Seam Scraper

    Does anyone know where I could buy a too like this in Europe?
    I tried ordering it from their site but they dont take Paypal and I dont own a credit card (and cant get one) so does anyone know where I could get one of these tools in the EU?

    I hate mould line removal, I litterally spend hours upon hours scraping them off with my x-acto knife.

    Cant find any tools like this at all in the EU, so anyone know of a store that sells something like this in the EU?

    look on Ebay for Deburring Tools. they are similar to the scraper you pictured. they have a screwdriver handle and detachable bits. takes some getting use to. the bits on mine swivel quite a bit, but it works great. i paid $5, and didn't have to wait for delivery. the guy i bought it off of lives close to my job. dont waste time looking in hardware or home depot type stores, they don't sell them. happy hunting!

    If you are looking for a tool which can grind down mold lines and such you could try one of those Pedi-
    paws things they advertise on TV. If you remove the plastic cover its essentially an electric sander on a stick. I've used one for about a year now and I have yet to replace the sandpaper, that thing rocks.

    Why not just get a dremel?

    I use a regular hobby knife/exacto blade. But I use the back of the blade for scrapping the mold lines off. Works just as well and I still have the blade if the mold line is a bit thicker than usual.
    On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of countless millions who at the dawn of victory lay down to rest, and in resting died.
