Abstract
A tool is provided for use in removing surface compounds from a container. The tool comprises a handle having a longitudinal axis and having first and second ends. The tool also includes a blade secured to the first end of the handle and having first and second adjacent sections. The first section of the blade defines a generally planar controlling section and the second section of the blade defines a generally planar working section, wherein the plane of the second section extends at an acute angle relative to the plane of the first section. The second section defines a contoured edge of predetermined curvature corresponding to the curvature of the container such that the blade can be used to remove surface compounds from the container.

A tool for use in removing surface compounds from a container, said tool comprising:
- a handle having a longitudinal axis and having first and second ends;
- and
- a blade secured to said first end of said handle, wherein said blade extends from said handle at an acute angle relative to said longitudinal axis of said handle and said blade defines a contoured edge of predetermined curvature corresponding to the curvature of the container such that said blade can be used to remove surface compounds from the container.
A tool for use in removing surface compounds from a container, said tool comprising:
- a handle having a longitudinal axis and having first and second ends;
- and
- a blade secured to said first end of said handle and having first and second adjacent sections, said first section of said blade defining a generally planar controlling section and said second section of said blade defining a generally planar working section, wherein the plane of said second section extends at an acute angle relative to the plane of said first section and said second section defines a contoured edge of predetermined curvature corresponding to the curvature of the container such that said blade can be used to remove surface compounds from the container.
A method of using a tool for removing surface compounds from a container, the method comprising:
- providing a tool having a handle and a blade, the handle having a longitudinal axis and having first and second ends, the blade being secured to the first end of the handle, wherein the blade extends substantially directly from the handle at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle, the blade defining a contoured edge of predetermined curvature corresponding to the curvature of the container;
- inserting the blade into the compound contained in the container;
- moving the contoured edge of the blade toward the inside surface of the container;
- upon contact of the contoured edge of the blade with the inside surface of the container, lifting the tool out of the container;
- and
- depositing the compound from the blade to a tray.
