Microspatula
These small metal spatulas are
used for a number of functions. For example, they are excellent for
scraping, applying methyl cellulose to a book spine to remove the old
adhesive, delaminating the layers of board, and lifting delicate
materials and helping them back into place, during the performance of
repair treatments. They are made of stainless or tool steel and are
available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
