It can be used with most adhesives, pastes, powders, grains, and dry materials. It's particularly gentle on paper and photographic surfaces.
High-quality stainless steel is resistant to rust. However, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances without cleaning can eventually lead to discoloration or minor corrosion. Always dry thoroughly after cleaning.
The overall length of the spatula is 19cm (approximately 7.5 inches).
The tips are not designed to be sharpened. They are intended for precise manipulation and application, not cutting.
While made of stainless steel, it is designed for craft and conservation purposes. It is not certified for food use.
Store it in a dry place, preferably in a protective case or pouch to prevent damage to the tips and keep it clean.
Gently try to straighten the tips using pliers with protective padding. Avoid applying excessive force to prevent breakage. For severe bending, replacement might be necessary.
Soak the tips in warm water or a mild solvent appropriate for the adhesive. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove the softened residue.
This tool is designed for micro-applications. For larger areas, consider using a broader spatula or brush.
Setup: This tool requires no setup. It is ready for immediate use upon unpacking.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of adhesives, powders, and dry materials. It is suitable for use with paper, photographs, textiles, and other delicate substrates commonly found in conservation and crafting.
Care: To ensure longevity and maintain hygiene, clean the spatula after each use. Wipe the stainless steel tips with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher residues, a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive pad can be used. Ensure the spatula is completely dry before storing to prevent any potential corrosion or residue buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface.
