Trust me, that's making an easy job hard. A small blade will beat the
pants off a large blade (pressure per unit area counts for a lot) and
can get into places the large blade can't.

Part of the learning experience was a simple race to scrape off part of
the top of my rub rail. A large flat surface with no funky curves?
Piece o' cake for my 2" blade! Not! Bill, with his 1" blade, had the
finish down to bare wood in far less time, plain and simple. Using his
scraper, I did a similar patch in just about the same time as he'd
needed for the demo race. "Less is more" really does hold here.

Remember, too, that part of the gimmick is to keep the blade very sharp
at all times. I grind a blade down to nothing usable in the course of a
summer. Red Devil scraper blades go for peanuts compared to buying
whole new scrapers when they're worn out.

Cheeers,
