Speedheater Hat Profile Paint Scraper

Ergonomic paint scraper for hat-cap (hat profile) trim and flat surfaces ideal for facades and siding with hat-cap battens.

Hat Profile Paint Scraper for Profiled Siding & Trim

Speedheater’s Hat Profile Scraper is simple and effective on heated paint. It is purpose-built for scraping hat-cap profiles, which are common on facades and exterior trim. For best results, warm the paint first using the Speedheater Method. The ergonomic handle makes it easy to remove paint without damaging the wood.

Scraper blade in top-quality special steel

The cutting edge is shaped to fit both hat-cap profiles and flat surfaces. Its convex edge follows the natural contour of the wood for gentle paint removal and a lower risk of gouging the substrate. The blade is made from a hard, hard-wearing special steel, making this scraper a long-lasting investment, and it can be resharpened by grinding the back, which preserves its unique profile.

Tips for using the Hat Profile Scraper

• Make sure the paint is heated enough
• Sharpen the cutting edge on the back side only
• Lift and reset the scraper for each new stroke
• Swap in a fresh replacement blade when the edge is worn
