A scraping tool having a thick, durable scraping blade attached to a weighted main body is particularly useful in scraping encrusted marine growth from seawalls, dock and pier pilings, and bridge structures is disclosed. A scraping blade formed of 316 Stainless Steel having a thickness of approximately 3/16, with a front end that is preferably angled approximately 15-degrees from the longitudinal axis of the tool arranges the blade for maximum effectiveness. The blade has teeth with each tooth defining a beveled upper tip surface to aid in piercing encrusted barnacle growth. The blade is attached to a weighted main body which further includes an axially projecting adaptor for connection to an extension pole. The weighted main body is partially filled with lead shot for enhancing impact forces.

A method of texturing a wall or ceiling with non-acoustical joint compound by providing a collapsible bag having an opening at its top and is adapted to contain non-acoustical joint compound for forming a textured coating on the wall or ceiling and providing a spray nozzle having a low pressure input port, a joint compound suction port attached to the opening at the top of the collapsible bag, and an output port for spraying the non-acoustical joint compound. A low pressure stream of air from an air gun attached to the low pressure input port urges a small quantity of the non-acoustical joint compound to be sprayed out of the spray nozzle when the bottom of the collapsible disposable bag is raised above its top to either allow or force the joint compound to flow into the suction port and into the interior of the spray nozzle.
