About product

Corundum Abrasive Pen 400 grit — a U-STAR corundum abrasive pen

A pen-format sanding tool with a corundum abrasive and a 400 grit according to the name of the product. Within the range it is the medium step: it no longer leaves deep marks the way the cleanup grits do, but it still takes off enough for a layer of putty to be shaped with it.

Sanding putty is its main discipline

Once it has dried, a filled joint looks like a small hump that has to be leveled exactly flush with the surrounding plastic — no more and no less. When it is sanded with too coarse an abrasive, the putty crumbles out and a shallow hollow forms around the joint that only the first coat of paint reveals. A 400 grit in a pen format is a rewarding combination for this work: you aim the removal at the putty alone and leave the surrounding surface untouched. It is just as good for refining repairs where you have sanded the plastic through and had to build it back up.

A procedure that has proved itself

Sand dry with short passes and wipe the area between them, so that you can see the real state of it. Putty and plastic sand away at different rates, so check the transition between them by feel — a finger finds an irregularity sooner than the eye. Once the joint is level, move on to a higher grit and polish the area, otherwise the fine grooves will show through under a glossy paint. It also helps to spray a thin coat of primer onto the repaired place: it unifies the color of the putty with the plastic and any irregularity shows up at once.

Who the tool is for

  • Modelers who fill the joints of fuselages, wings and hull sides and want to level them without damaging the surroundings
  • Repairs to places sanded through or broken off during a build
  • Work in places where there is engraved detail or riveting around the joint
  • A complement between the cleanup and the finishing step of the same range

FAQ

A filled joint tends to be narrow and surrounded by detail. The pen lets you guide the removal along the putty alone, whereas a flat tool also sands the surrounding surface and lowers the engraving around the joint.

It is not. A 400 grit will level the joint but leaves fine grooves that a glossy clear coat emphasizes. Use a still higher grit on the area before painting.

The name does not state the method of use, so wet sanding is not a verified property of this tool. The safe option is to sand dry and remove the dust with a brush.

The grit suits common modeling putties once they have fully cured. Putty that has not dried enough smears and clogs the abrasive, so always wait for it to cure fully according to the instructions on the putty packaging.
