ABSTRACT:
The invention is a one-piece ergonomic shielding tool that can be held in one hand to define a boundary against which a surface is processed on one side and protected from processing steps on the opposite side. The invention achieves this utility by providing a handle that is ergonomically fitted for the human hand to allow prolonged use without fatigue or injury to the user. The invention includes a straight edge, or guide edge, for dividing a surface into two regions and a curved handle for ergonomic hand-held use. The ergonomic shielding tool and a paint removal apparatus are useful in combination for scraping paint from one section of a surface and leaving another section protected from the paint removal process. The tool is adapted for use in a method of removing dried paint from a surface in a precise manner.
