The Modelcraft Mouldline Remover (PSP1000) is an essential tool for scale modellers and hobbyists who demand a clean, professional finish on their projects. It is specifically engineered to efficiently shave away mould lines and sprue marks from plastic, metal, and photo-etched components, providing an ideal surface for painting. While it offers unmatched precision, users should exercise a light touch to avoid removing excessive material from delicate plastic details.

Yes, it is effective on resin, but be aware that resin dust is hazardous; always work in a well-ventilated area and consider wearing a mask.
With normal use, the steel should remain sharp for a long time. If it dulls, you can lightly hone the edge, but generally, it is intended as a long-life consumable tool.
The tool contains a sharp edge and is intended for adult modellers or supervised older children.
Unlike a knife, the `PSP1000` is designed for scraping rather than cutting, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental slips and deep gouges in your model.
It is made of stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion, but it should still be kept dry and stored in a clean, moisture-free container.
Ensure your hand is gripping the handle firmly and increase the angle of the blade relative to the surface slightly for better 'bite'.
Apply less pressure. The tool is designed to work with light, repeated strokes rather than one heavy pass.
Use a soft cloth or a fine brush to gently clear the shavings from the scraping edge.
The `PSP1000` does not require any assembly and is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with all standard plastic and soft metal modelling materials. To maintain the tool, keep the stainless-steel edge clean of plastic shavings by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid using the tool on extremely hard materials like steel or hardened epoxy, as this may dull or chip the edge. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent any potential oxidation and consider using a protective sleeve or cap over the tip to protect both the edge and your hands when not in use.
