Tricky situation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrape

'tricky situation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "Thinly applied butter - or jam!" , "stroke of a violin" , "hole" , "Rasp or abrade" , "Take the surface off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
