Choosing the width: The 2-1/2" blade covers the most ground per stroke, which suits broad flat runs like doors, siding, decking, and tabletops.
Keeping an edge: Red Devil's instruction for these blades is to resharpen the edges with a file. Reverse the blade when the first edge dulls, and fit a fresh blade once both edges are past filing.
Before you scrape: Paint applied in homes built before 1978 may contain lead. Scraping it releases dust and chips. If you are working on a pre-1978 surface, test the paint first and follow lead-safe work practices rather than dry-scraping it into the open air.
