There are many kinds of deburring tools. These are particular ones are common and purpose made:



The point is the the business is shaped and tempered to scrape brass, plastic and white metal softer than carbon steel. They are available from MicroMark, for example.

Hmm, I've seen these before at work, in a drawer, never seen 'em been used though...

Do any of those things work on soft plastic figures?

No, not that I know. In my experience soft plastic flash needs cutting with a sharp scalpel. Tricky business.

Very tricky.
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!
