![]() I recently tried to sharpen this particular algae scraper and it was a great success. I hope this short article is helpful for you guys.
Things you will need: - Whetstone - flat surface - elbow grease This particular scraper has an angle that is set into the unit, so follow that angle. It is identical to sharpening a wood scraper. First you sharpen the edge like shown below, with the scraper on the magnet still and run it across the stone as you would scraping the glass. ![]() ![]() And now take off the blade and hone the side to get the burr back to that edge. ![]() Then finally alternate pass on the edge and the side of the blade a total of 10-15 times. As you can see in the picture, the edge is much bigger than when I got it, but it scrapes algae off like butter again. ![]() Hope you guys enjoyed this tip and never to buy another scraper tip replacement again. Cheers p.s., I'm not able to resize the images using <IMG=100x50></IMG> Not sure what's going on here. |
