Scarify

Hello all,
I am new to this list and enjoying it very much. And,,,,now my question. I
bought some seeds from the nursery that came from Costa Rica. The name of
the plant is Elephants Ear, (Enterolobium Cyclocarpum). The seed looks and
feels like an uncooked kidney bean. I soaked them for a few days, as
recommended. Also recommended is to scarify them. I tried doing that with a
pair of pliers to slightly open them but I cracked them too much. So my
question (finally) is, what is the proper way to scarify a hard seed, or
any seed.
Thanxs a-bunch
Pat.
