This guide is for modelers and hobbyists seeking precision tools for intricate tasks. The Tamiya Cotton Swab - Triangular - Small offers superior control for painting, applying decals, and weathering, unlike standard swabs which can quickly degrade. A key benefit is their dimensional stability, even when wet, ensuring consistent results. However, their specialized nature means they are not ideal for general cleaning tasks.

Tamiya cotton swabs are made with industrial-quality, tightly spun cotton, making them more durable and dimensionally stable, especially when wet, compared to standard, softly spun cotton swabs.
Yes, these swabs are designed to remain dimensionally stable even when soaked in paints or solvents, making them suitable for precise cleanup or application tasks involving various hobby solvents.
The triangular tip allows for greater precision in application, enabling users to reach small areas, apply fine lines, and control the amount of product (paint, glue, solvent) transferred to the model.
Yes, their precision tip and firm fibers make them effective for cleaning delicate areas in electronics, gears, motors, and other inaccessible places where standard swabs might leave fibers or break apart.
Each pack contains 50 high-quality shaped cotton swabs.
These are disposable cotton swabs intended for single use, particularly when working with paints, solvents, or adhesives, to maintain project integrity and hygiene.
Tamiya offers cotton swabs with both round and triangular tips, in various sizes from extra small to medium.
Ensure you are using the Tamiya Craft Cotton Swabs, which are specifically designed for wet use. Standard swabs may not have the same tightly spun fibers.
Use the pointed tip of the triangular swab to gently lift and position the decal. Lightly moisten the tip with water or decal setting solution for better adhesion control.
Dip the tip lightly into the paint. Remove excess by dabbing on a palette or paper towel before applying to the model. For weathering, use a dry brush technique with the swab to pick up and apply pigments.
Setup: These cotton swabs require no setup. They are ready to use straight from the packaging.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of modeling supplies including:
Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. As disposable items, they are not designed for reuse. Dispose of after each use, especially when used with paints or solvents, to prevent contamination of future projects or potential safety hazards.
