Default DIY glass scraper

I'm looking for some ideas for a good diy coraline scraper (for my glass). I use a blade and I can't bring myself to spend the $50 on a blade attached to a piece of metal that they have at the LFS...so I'm determined to make my own, even if it cost me more than $50

You can make a whole bunch of scraper for under $10.

that is funny...but if it gets the job done, why not right? I was thinking of machining something to attach my blades but I might have to give this a try...

Hey Mew, that stuff works great!....I made a few and was able to clean my entire tank (back and sides were covered with coraline) in 1/2 hr. I didn't think it would be strong enough, I think I'll be sticking with this instead of making something out of metal....it's cheap enough....thanks.
