Glenn,

I have been using a craft knife blade for just this technique for some time but I like the idea of of employing a small nail ground down, I will soon be making just such a tool

Thank you.

Hi all,

Hoping you find the SBS useful!
I was inspired by a picture of the Mission Models Micro Chisel (with the rounded tip). I thought "why should I pay so much for something so simple?" So I made my own for free... and it does exactly what I wanted it to!

very good SBS Glenn, your tip looks pretty cool on that sub hull, it's really worth a try...
