Found a picture of the tool we use. The #8 blending stick. You will also want to have a piece of something very hard. I use a piece of maple or bass with tight grain and concave it very slightly. You need this to smooth out the occasional slight wrinkle. They can be manipulated out most of the time, by working the surface with the hardwood. No sharp edges. Also buy Exacto blades buy the box of 100 at least.
