Frequently Asked Questions

How do I maintain my Purdy stripping knives?

Clean blades after each use to prevent paint build-up, store in a dry location to prevent rust, and occasionally apply a light oil to the blade. Replace blades when they become dull rather than attempting to sharpen, as this maintains optimal performance.

What's the difference between flexible and stiff stripping knives?

Flexible stripping knives are ideal for detailed work, mouldings, and contoured surfaces as they bend to follow the shape. Stiff-blade scrapers provide more leverage for heavy-duty paint removal on flat surfaces and stubborn deposits.

Are Purdy scrapers suitable for professional use?

Absolutely. Purdy tools are designed specifically for professional decorators and tradesmen who demand reliability and performance. Their robust construction and quality materials ensure they withstand the demands of daily commercial use whilst maintaining precision.
