LAP's Crucible card scraper is based on Welch Chairmaker John Brown's design. It is thoughtfully designed with gentle curves along both edges and a second accelerated curve at the corners. The tool works  brilliantly on flat and curved surfaces and you don't need to bend the tool with your thumbs. You will wish you had purchased one sooner, especially if you have arthritis.
