Subject: [Shop-talk] Offset handle cutting tools

All: I am in the process of adding foam insulation to the band joist (in the joist bays) in my basement. The joists are laminated I-beams, so I am cutting rectangular blocks of 2” foam, and using low expansion foam to fill the gaps and air seal it all. 

Even with the low E foam, it still ends up oozing out of the gaps, and looks pretty cheesy, according to the homeowner. It cleans up nicely with a single edge razor blade, but my knuckles will be a bloody mess (there is a total of about 150’ of perimeter) if I can’t find a way to trim flush with something other than the standard blade holder. 

So, I am looking for a holder for either single edge razor blades or drywall knife blades which allows me to trim flush with some sort of an offset handle. I’ve look at the box store and Grainger websites, nothing to be found there. 

Hoping someone has some ideas!

Thanks...

John - that is exactly what I need to do (except that my rigid foam is verti=
cal, not horizontal)! If the angled window scraper idea doesn=E2=80=99t pan o=
ut, this will def be the next step.=20
