Glass microscope make great scrapers for certain tasks. They scrape finish really well. Won't replace steel ones of course but they are nice to have around. Biggest disadvantage is that they can't be sharpened. They are also great to have around when you are trying to match a finish as you can but a little sample of your mix on the glass and hold it over the area to be matched to check the color.


Tommy, are you talking about slides or slide covers? Not sure what a glass microscope is.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about slides. They are square edged, and thick enough to hold shape.

I agree, but I wanted to give him an opportunity to dispel my assumption.

Sorry about the time Lilian. Definately slides and not covers. They come in boxes of a hundred or so. You can get them from Edmund's Scientific or laboratory supply houses. Give 'em a try, they work great.
