Modelcraft PBU1019 – Glass Fibre Pencil 4mm

Modelcraft PBU1019 – Glass Fibre Pencil (4 mm)

The Modelcraft PBU1019 is a propelling-style glass fibre pencil (4 mm) ideal for precise cleaning, de-rusting, deburring, and surface preparation across a variety of materials—ranging from metals and plastics to wood.

Key Features

• Propelling Mechanism: Adjust the length of exposed glass fibres to modify abrasive action
  —shorter fibres yield more aggressive abrasion, while longer ones allow gentler cleaning .
• Multi-Material Use: Suitable for use on metals, plastics, and wood—making it versatile for model building, restoration, and craftwork.

Applications

• Rapid Surface Cleanup: Remove rust and clean stubborn residues quickly.
• Deburring & Burnishing: Smooth edges, refine surfaces, and achieve polished finishes.
• Surface Prep: Ideal before painting or gluing for improved adhesion and seamless results.

Best Practices & Refill Note

• The precision construction allows for controlled material removal in fragile areas without over-sanding—excellent for fiddly hobby tasks.
• When the glass fibre tip wears down, Modelcraft offers refill packs (e.g., PBU1019-2-10) to extend the lifespan of the tool.
• Caution: The brittle glass fibre tip can cause injury; avoid direct contact and use with care.
