    Not saying you cant use them, they work yes, but there is a better, safer way.

    I just kept getting cores sent in, or cases sent in for work where somebody had used a gasket scraper, or a razor blade obviously, and just hacked the crap out of em. Looked like some were drug behind a car on a gravel road. Its sad to see, so made a video showing that there is a much better safer way to do it, for those who are not skilled enough to use a blade.

    Not saying you HAVE to do this or use this method, for every job, there is always another way to go about doing it.

    Agreed. Im glad you posted this method, I will definitely try using your method next time . It was extremely tedious using a razor blade, I had to keep changing blades every 5 seconds because they would dull and get jagged, your method is much more care-free.
