I was using some schedule 80 pvc to make a mold master for a model ship project.. having a bit of a hard time getting a gentle curve to the top section,, grabbed a cabinet scraper and it worked like magic,, nice thin curls of pvc covered the lathe :whoohoo: used it to surface finish other areas that had been turned..

Neat trick!  The scraper was the flexible type so you could arc it to the curve?

being big and wide I just worked it across the radius,, nice and smooth, no grooves..
