I use a #10 Xacto blade for most of my clean-up:



I love that blade!!

Scott Whitworth recently sent me a burnishing tool (sadly, I can't find a pic of it) that works very well, too.

I use simular ones i get at home depot. They are those pink dry wall sanding foam pads and work very well with running water also.

Believe it or not a round sculptors loop is faster, easier and just about better than all of the above.
