Tamiya Craft Spatula - 20mm Width

The 20mm width is ideal for applying and smoothing putty, filler, or adhesives over medium-sized areas on plastic and R/C models, such as filling seams or leveling glue.

While it offers precision, the 20mm width is more suited for medium-scale applications. For extremely fine details, a narrower spatula or specialized tool might be more appropriate.

It is designed for use with modeling putties, fillers, glues, and paints. Always check the compatibility of the material with your model kit.

Wipe off excess material immediately. For dried-on substances, use a damp cloth or a modeling solvent compatible with the material and the spatula.

The Tamiya Craft Spatula weighs approximately 0.02 pounds, making it very lightweight and easy to handle.

The product information does not specify a case or protective cover. It is typically sold as a single tool.

Ensure the spatula is clean before use. Try applying a very thin layer of mold release agent or talc to the spatula surface, or clean it more thoroughly with appropriate solvent after use.

Practice applying consistent pressure and angle. Ensure the material being applied is of the correct consistency. For putty or filler, ensure the surface is properly prepared and the spatula is held at a consistent angle.

Avoid applying excessive force or using the spatula for prying. If bent, attempt to gently straighten it. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
