6mm - 8mm or 10mm scraper

[bodgeandscarper]

Hi

Does the 2mm jump make a big difference as majority seem to be 8mm. Why use a 6mm instead of 10mm.

Thanks

I'm guessing mono scratchers. No idea myself. Don't do a lot of mono. @keithuk is the man for this one.

The shorter ones seem sharper for next day ,sure someone like @owls or John will know more

I've never noticed any difference tbh. I just use what is in the bucket

The cheese grater was a good read said the blind fella

Longer nails take longer to clog with softer gear. less knocking it clean inbetween

That's very technical can you please explain it in simpler terms.

I was told long tooth same day ,short next day ,but tbh after a few lads said use short all the time ,i do more now

As Ian said, long tooth for if its still a bit soft. It doesn't clog as easy.

if its soft a larger depth doesn't clog, but I tend to go over an area with a finer grade one to finish,i find it closes it in better.nothing more annoying than a mono render setting and seeing 'claw marks in it'. we have about half a dozen on the go at any time to break in.
But the other day I stood on one of my favs and it bent, I cried like a baby, but we gave it a good send off by burying it in the skip with the render shavings. Its the way it would have wanted to go.
