Claim:
A tool for spraying a liquid, comprising: a) an elongate body having a first end, a second end, a length extending between said first and second ends, and a handle region proximate said first end; b) a plurality of liquid outlets located at least on one side of said elongate body and positioned along said length, each of said plurality of liquid outlets configured for emitting the liquid; c) at least one scraper attached to said body and extending in a direction substantially along said length, wherein said scraper has an elongated free edge that lies in a first vertical reference plane when said body is substantially horizontal with the liquid outlets facing generally vertically downwardly; d) wherein the liquid outlets are configured and located on said body so as to emit liquid in a plurality of streams that lie in a second vertical reference plane when said body is substantially horizontal with the liquid outlets facing generally vertically downwardly, and wherein the second plane in which the liquid streams are emitted is both parallel to and horizontally offset to one side of the first plane which contains the free edge of the scraper such that the free edge of the scraper is horizontally offset on said body from the liquid outlets when said body is substantially horizontal with the liquid outlets facing generally vertically downwardly; and e) wherein the free edge of the scraper is positioned on said body to be at least substantially as low as the liquid outlets when said body is substantially horizontal with the liquid outlets facing generally vertically downwardly.
