Manuell mini-skrapa

The Slice 10594 works very well as a mini glass scraper. When you scrape glass—or any surface—it’s important to remember how Slice safety blades differ from metal scraper blades. Slice blades don’t flex like metal blades and they’re much harder than metal. In fact, zirconium oxide is much harder than glass.

The key is to hold the tool properly, so that the blade is completely flush. Both corners of the blade should be touching the glass work surface every time you scrape or exert pressure. If one corner of the blade lifts while you’re scraping, pressure will be uneven and you’ll risk scratching the glass below—remember; our blades are harder than glass and can scratch it.

When used properly, Slice’s 10594 is a superior mini glass scraper: it’s stronger, safer, and the blades last much longer than standard metal scraper blades.

The Slice 10594 scraper has endless applications. As long as you have a flat surface that needs scraping, this tool can handle it. For larger surfaces, we recommend our utility scraper with our wider, thicker 10526 or 10528 blades. If you’re in the market for a tool that does detailed scraping, if your surface is small or includes awkward angles, this smaller scraper is your best choice.

Whether you use the 10594 as a mini plastic scraper, a mini paint scraper, or any other kind of scraper, it’s important to use the same precautions as you would with a glass surface: hold the blade flush, with both corners down, to keep even pressure and avoid accidentally scratching the surface below.

Always remember to fully retract your blade between uses. This protects you and the tool. While Slice blades are safer than traditional blades, any blade can cut and must be treated with respect.

To change the blade, first locate the colored latch at the top of the tool. While the tool is in use, this latch should be centered. Slide it to the side, into the unlocked position. If you’re unsure about which position is locked and which is unlocked, indicators are marked on the back surface of the tool.

Once the latch is unlocked, pull the tool’s front and back panels apart to reveal the inside of the housing. The blade is held in place by a small notch, which fits into the hole in the center of the blade. Remove the old blade and replace the new one, ensuring that the notch fits snugly into the blade’s hole. Put the front and back panels together again—this is easier to do if the slider is retracted so that the blade is fully inside the housing. Ensure that the panels fit together snugly before sliding the top latch back into the closed (centered) position once more.

The 10594 Manual Mini Scraper ships with the 10524 Utility Blade (Rounded Tip) and is compatible with the 10525 Utility Blade (Pointed Tip) and the 10523 Utility Blade (Serrated).

All Slice safety blades are oil-free and chemically inert. Because you don’t need to worry about chemical reactions (including rusting), you can choose from a much wider range of cleaning solutions. The deciding factor will be: What kind of dirt or gunk is stuck to your blade? Use the best solution to remove what’s there and, of course, wear gloves if the cleaning solution warrants it.

No matter what you choose, cleaning and handling Slice blades is safer than cleaning traditional blades, due to our proprietary finger-friendly^® blade edge. We offer more general information in this video about cleaning Slice blades. While our safety blades have superior wear resistance compared to metal blades (they last up to 11 times longer), it’s recommended that you clean your mini scraper after each use, as you would any tool, to keep it in good working order.
