Using the Miniware scraper is easy. When you notice solder on your bench or table, simply pick up the scraper and gently scrape the solder off. It works well for small amounts of fallen solder. Remember, don't use too much force as it might damage the surface. To keep it in good condition, after each use, wipe the scraper clean with a dry cloth. Store it in the leather holding pouch provided to prevent it from getting dull or damaged. If the scraper gets dirty, you can use a mild cleaner and then dry it thoroughly.
