Dave-
I found that a blade from a vertical blind works well too. Its wider,
giving more to grab onto.

Maybe this is already well known but ...
If you hang vinyl min-blinds (1" or larger), save the extra vinyl slats.
Or go buy the cheapest set you can find at Wal-Mart. Or just sneak a test
strip out of that set in the family room.
Cut the slats into about 6 inch sections and you've got
a really great spreader for resin fo bagging wings. Round the cut
edges with fine sandpaper a bit so they won't grab the cloth.
The normal curvature of the vinyl slat is great for spreading-smoothing
the resin and cloth. Wipe it off with a tissue and pull out as much resin
as you want. Toss 'em away with the cup, scrap cloth, etc.
My old spreader broke while starting a job last week and this solution
works better expected. Beats an old credit card by a long
shot.
