Can anyone help UPVC window deglazing tool

[Iain1972]

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on these? They're thin, tempered steel tools for deglazing awkward frames, apparently were ideal for deglazing old sheerframe windows, can anyone help?

I use a sturdy scraper and never failed.
If it's really tight, i use a filling spatula first to open the gap, than the scraper.

Hi Johnny, I too have what you describe but this item helps when you have limited space for leverage. Some if the old timers in my work have these simple metal levers and I want to be able to source them for my teams....struggling though we're fitting triple glazing units and they're often needing additional packing and these things seem to half the time spent trying to pop the beads

Iain, since you have one or even pics, find a local fabricator and ask for a quote, in a masses, it's a simple CNC drawing and a break press to bend them. Or even on a not so busy day, get yourself a sheet of metal, a file, a grinder and a vice to hammer the fold over at the end. I could knock one of these up by hand in about 10 minutes if I had the equipment. To temper, heat up until red hot and drop into oil.
