Can I use a metal scraper for acrylic?

[hrdneglcry]

I have the seachem scraper which has a metal blade. Can I use this on an acrylic tank? I have looked up some threads and see a lot of recommendations but not the answer to can I use the metal scraper.

I wouldn’t… I mean it’s possible but you got to have to real finesse to not dig in and scratch the acrylic.. I’d rather see you use an old credit card or plastic razor blade unless you wanna learn acrylic restoration… it’s not fun to say the least! I quit fixing tanks for stores because it’s too time consuming.
