I have always been underwhelmed by the carbide scrapers. Each time I pick mine up I think, this is going to be just the ticket for the job and I usually put it back down and grab a steel scraper instead. I found these http://www.amazon.com/Paint-scraper-heavy-silent-remover/dp/B0007UO0ZY/ to be very good. I can get them sharper than the carbide with a file. They will pull up a nice smooth shaving in epoxy. I use the carbide when there is glass in the mix because they don't dull as quickly.
