PLP-001 Aluminum Micro Scraper Set (6 pieces) used for scraping, grooving, and carving high-detail patterns on leather-hard clay (Leather-hard) or for sculpting figures. The lightweight aluminum handle with anti-slip texture helps maintain stable and precise scraping control.
- Slanted Triangular Head (leftmost piece) : The blade tip is slanted, ideal for scraping slopes or gently grooving angled corners in narrow spaces.
- Wide Trapezoid Head: The straight blade cross-section is parallel to the horizontal plane, used for trimming excess clay to a flat surface or clearing the bottom of grooves to be uniformly flat.
- Sharp Isosceles Triangular Head: The wire is folded to a precise sharp angle, suitable for scraping and cutting V-grooves (V-groove) or getting into tight 90-degree corners.
- Narrow Trapezoid Head: Functions like piece 2 but is smaller and narrower, used for making tiny straight grooves or parallel line patterns.
- Medium Round Loop Head: The round loop is used for hollowing out shallow circular depressions, creating eye sockets, chamfering sharp edges, or smoothing and rounding workpiece surfaces.
- Tiny Round Loop Head (rightmost piece): Functions like piece 5 but is the smallest in the set, suitable for intricate detailing such as carving doll hair or bas-relief patterns on teacups.
Recommendation: The flat stainless steel wire strips work best when scraping on clay that is "just leather-hard." The clay debris will come off in fine shavings without digging too deep into the clay and distorting the work. After use, an old toothbrush should be used to brush off clay residue from the wire heads, then wash with water and dry thoroughly immediately.
