I started to earnestly scrape the inside of the canoe this morning. I had previously tried using a regular paint scraper with the blade rounded by file and grinder – the scraper needs to be rounded to accommodate the concave surface inside the hull. I didn’t like the paint scraper at all and decided to find something more to my liking. I asked this question on the bearmountain forums and it was suggested that I try a curved cabinet scraper. Bing! this seemed like a great idea. I had used a $5 scraper extensively on the outside of the hull, so why not use a curved one inside?

So far I’m pretty happy with these scrapers, the multitude of curves is really nice.
