Using knives can be dangerous if not used correctly and safely, below we have pulled together some of our helpful tips to remember when using decorating knives - 

• Always pick up knives by the handle. Never touch the blade, even when if it appears to be dull. 
• Choose the correct size knife for the task that you are doing. 
• Carry knives with the blade pointed downward.
• Never attempt to catch a falling knife. 

Depending on the stubbornness of the material being removed and the size of the DIY job, a wall scraper should be held by the handle by one or both hands. In most cases it is most effective to pull against the material you are trying to separate from the wall, however sometimes in the case of stubborn materials such as wallpaper it can be best to scrape in a pushing action to get underneath the wallpaper.
