About product

Corundum Abrasive Pen 240 grit — a U-STAR corundum abrasive pen

An abrasive tool in a pen format with a corundum abrasive according to the name of the product. The 240 grit makes it the coarser step of the range: it suits places where material has to be taken off fairly quickly, yet you are working on an area the size of a fingernail that a flat sanding tool cannot reach.

When to reach for it

The most typical moment comes right after nipping a part off the sprue. Even good nippers leave a small nub on the edge, or conversely a slight dent in the plastic that shows up after clear-coating as a lighter patch. The pen is held like a ballpoint, so you aim the removal exactly at one place and do not sand the surrounding engraved detail. It serves just as well inside openings, between ribs, at a wing root or in a landing gear bay, where a flat tool has no way of seating.

What to watch out for

A corundum abrasive is hard and, pressed at a right angle, can carve a groove into soft polystyrene that you then have to fill. Guide the pen at an angle and let the movement do the work rather than force. The 240 grit is for cleanup, not for finishing — on a place that will be visible under a clear coat, always move on to a higher grit afterward. Sweep the dust that forms away with a soft brush as you go: it works into engraved lines and after spraying it becomes a grain that is harder to remove than the original nub.

Who the tool is for

  • Modelers who want to clean up places after nipping in a targeted way, not by sanding a whole area
  • Building figures and small parts, where there is a lot of detail around the sanded place
  • Work in narrow openings and bays that a sanding tool or paper cannot reach
  • A complement alongside the finer steps of the same range, which follow on after cleanup

FAQ

It is the designation of the grit of the abrasive. A lower number means a coarser abrasive and faster removal, a higher number a finer surface. A 240 grit is among the cleanup steps, not the finishing ones.

It is not. The pen shape is meant for small and poorly accessible places. On a fuselage or a wing, use a flat sanding tool that keeps a plane.

Pressed at a right angle, yes, corundum is hard. Guide the pen at an angle, do not press and rather add passes. A groove once made has to be filled and sanded down.

Look for the number of pieces in the package and the length of the pen on the box.
