Members TALLNDN Posted April 9 Members Report Posted April 9 In several of the posts here I see folks using a little tool that looks like a very small spatula - or maybe a round-end trowell that has an abrasive surface with which the path intended for glue application or getting rid of surface issues prior to stitching. I hope to have described the use well enough to get a repl or two. Please? Quote

Members Helenn Posted April 25 Members Report Posted April 25 Yes, I understand the tool you're describing. It's often referred to as a glue path abrader or scratcher. This tool is used to prepare surfaces for better adhesion before applying glue or stitching. The abrasive surface helps roughen up the area, allowing the adhesive to bond more effectively. It’s a handy tool in crafting, bookbinding, or leatherworking projects where precise glue application is essential. You might find it in craft stores or online under various names like "glue prep tool" or "glue path sander." Hope this helps! Quote
