Claim:
A hand held scraper for abrading a surface or removing a substance from a surface, wherein the scraper comprises: a body; a handle attached to said body; a first set of flexible cantilevered abraders capable of independently moving relative to one another, each flexible cantilevered abrader of the first set of flexible cantilevered abraders extending from the body in a first direction, wherein at least one cantilevered abrader of said first set comprise: a first end hinged to a surface of said body; a first groove defined in an upper surface of said cantilevered abrader for increasing the flexibility of said cantilevered abrader, wherein said first groove extends in a second direction along a width of said cantilever abrader and is positioned adjacent to and between said first end and an opposed second end; and a scraping edge disposed at a lower surface of the second end; and two substantially rigid members that extend from the body in the first direction and constrain a vertical range of motion of said first set of cantilevered abraders, wherein said first set of cantilever abraders are positioned adjacent to and between said two substantially rigid members.
