Razor blades, with some sort of tool, raise heck with arthritis.

Edgar, I can definitely see how the blade would be effective and I've known others (professional cabinet makers) to use the same. Somehow, I'm just not brave enough to put anything metallic to the task because I don't want to sand at all when refinishing if I can help it. (I wouldn't be concerned using a r-blade for something flat) It occurs to me an old credit card with a bit of a burnished edge akin to a cabinet scraper would do the trick.
