STAEDTLER 52650BK2DA - Mars Plastic Eraser (Pack of 2)

Product Information

Erasing Hard or Soft Pastels – Most erasers work to remove pastels (hard and soft) but many people have had mixed results. If your surface is very textured you may have trouble and if your paper is very soft you will need to be careful. Many people find that a putty rubber works best, again using a press and lift action. Faber Castell Perfect Pencil with Eraser + Sharpener (2B pencil with pencil extender, sharpener and eraser all in one)

Kneadable putty erasers work by absorbing colour, they do not wear away. They can be very soft or quite stiff, but are not abrasive. Dustless (dust-free) eraser crumbs are larger but can build up under the eraser in an interfering clump.A lead tube (STAEDTLER Mars micro carbon 250 or Mars micro color 254) is simply attached to the end of the mechanical pencil and tipped up. All 12 leads fall into the barrel in one go, conveniently allowing you to continue writing with your pencil. This feature is supported by the Mars micro and graphite 779 models. You can carve into firm erasers to create a printing stamp similar to lino cutting but with the carved eraser you can print just by pressing down, like a rubber stamp. Blistercard containing 1 mechanical pencil, line width 0.5 mm in assorted barrel colours and 1 lead tube Mars micro carbon 250 05-HB free of charge

Most people assume they know all there is to know about erasers. But there are different types for different jobs and you are more likely to get the result you want if you use the right tool. After testing different types of erasers, different brands and different methods I have discovered a few things that might help you get the most from this small but important drawing implement. Thanks to its ergonomic triangular shape, the pencil sits comfortably in the hand ensuring relaxed and easy writing. It is particularly suitable for those who spend a lot of time writing with a pencil. When the lead runs out, there are two very easy ways in which you can refill STAEDTLER mechanical pencils with pencil leads: Faber Castell Round Eraser, Platinum-plated (comes in a gift box, for the artist who has everything) However, our erasers can do more than just erase pencil markings. We also offer combi erasers with a rough, blue side. Pumice is added to the STAEDTLER rasoplast combi. This makes it possible to carefully remove the surface of the paper, so that even mistakes written in ballpoint pen can be corrected. The blue side of the STAEDTLER Mars plastic combi contains a special solvent in addition to pumice to remove India ink from tracing paper and matt drafting film. This product is therefore ideal for technical drawing.Faber Castell Green Dust-Free Eraser (‘dust-free’ means that crumbs clump together) (phthalate free) Using a craft knife you can cut a rubber into the size or shape you require for your drawing. Some artists prefer a sharp edge to their eraser. As the name suggests, this is the ‘giant’ of the Milan family – the largest eraser of the collection. The eraser is made of soft synthetic rubber and it is suitable for removing strokes from graphite pencils on all kinds of surfaces. Because of its size (6.8 x 5.1 x 2.8 cm) we don’t recommend it for precision erasing. First kneading: a bit stiff, had to twist it to get it to move, held together like gum except when I stretched it more than 2cm then would form fine threads that had little bits caught in it that fell out like snow, so I felt I was losing bits of the rubber. This was prevented by only using a twisting or pressing motion, not a stretching motion. Then it was fine. Second kneading of small piece next day: fine. Staedtler Combi Mars Plastic Eraser White & Blue– (two sides – one for graphite and coloured pencils and the other for ink) (phthalate and latex free)
