About this deal

Many people find coloured pencils hard to erase and usually impossible to erase completely. They think the best you can do is lighten an area enough that you can colour over it. Most of the time plastic or rubber erasers smear it so it enlarges the problem. 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 it 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 motion or pressing motion, not a stretching motion. Then it was fine. Second kneading of small piece next day: fine. In contrast to mechanical pencils, leadholders are refilled by pressing the push-button to open the drop clutch mechanism and inserting the 2-mm lead (Mars carbon 200) into the leadholder via the tip.

This eraser has a strong absorption capacity for charcoal and graphite. It erases easily with no need to press hard on the paper, forming smooth eraser dust. It can also be used to erase or smudge marks made in charcoal drawings, adding a useful dimension to your artwork. Made from synthetic rubber.Our products are available in a variety of designs, colours and sizes. In our product range you will also find multifunctional combi erasers that can erase not only pencil markings, but also different kinds of ink. All STAEDTLER erasers ensure excellent erasing comfort, convenient handling and clean erasing. Spare erasers for our mechanical pencils are also available in this category. 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. Drawing Companion Set. A set of drawing tools for sharpening, blending and erasing. Includes a putty rubber and an erasing shield. (This product has now been discontinued – this is a close alternative Jakar Drawing Companion Set) This innovative and portable Jakar sharpener combines a reservoir sharpener with an eraser, which has a plastic cap to keep it clean. It is suitable for use with standard diameter pencils. Some makes come in little boxes to keep them clean and to prevent their oil from transferring to other things.

We are constantly updating our ranges to meet the needs and requirements of the artists who shop with us. We have a selection of new erasers which are all suitable for different styles; some are great for precision erasing and adding highlights to pencil drawings, while some are great for erasing large sections of graphite. It is hard to erase graphite under a watercolour without damaging it. The best advice is to draw very faint lines you can barely see and when painted over they won’t show. Or let the graphite lines show a bit as part of the painting. 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. Dustless (dust-free) eraser crumbs are larger but can build up under the eraser in an interfering clump. Koh-I-Noor Big Soft Elephant Eraser – natural rubber – oversized giant eraser, can be cut into many smaller erasers in the shapes you desire or makes a fun gift. (This product has now been discontinued)

Eraser

How it performed: Fine on light graphite lines, not good at dark graphite lines and not great on coloured pencil. Fine on removing the graphite under pigment liner pens and didn’t lighten the ink. Removed the graphite under the watercolour with a bit of damage to the paint.

Blistercard containing 1 Mars micro, line width 0.5 mm and 1 lead tube Mars micro carbon 250 05-HB free of chargeThe sharpener revolves: it can be turned inwards so that it does not leak graphite dust through the blade aperture. To empty the pencil shavings from the (very small) reservoir, simply swing the sharpener outwards and pull it off the main unit.

Specialty – fibreglass pen, cleaning cushion with eraser dust for cleaning up a whole sheet of dirty paper, erasing knife or razor blade and moreWhether you need an eraser for school, for the office, or for arts and crafts , we have you covered. Our range is complete with all of the pencil case accessories you'll need for school, work, or home, from some of the top brands like Serve, Staedtler, Derwent, and Helix. Faber Castell Perfect Pencil with Eraser + Sharpener (2B pencil with pencil extender, sharpener and eraser all in one) In general plastic erasers are similar. Except the dustless ones that I find difficult to use because of the lump of crumbs that builds up underneath the eraser. For clean, smudge-free results, resist the urge to brush the eraser crumbs off with your hand as this can cause unwanted smudging and blowing the crumbs off can add dampness to the paper. Instead, a good habit to get into is to lift the paper and shake the crumbs off. A drawing broom/drafting brush can be really useful.
