Cyanoacrylate has one unpleasant habit: when it runs outside a joint and dries, it leaves a glossy patch that shows through every coat of paint after it. Eraser Cleaner softens dried cyanoacrylate so that it wipes away with a paper towel, without sanding and without damaging the detail underneath. It is used after the glue has set, on finished joints – exactly at the moment you notice the glue where it should not be. A 20 g pot lasts a very long time, because it goes on with a towel rather than straight onto the model.

For bonding plastic itself there is Plastic Cement Standard Density. For cleaning brushes and airbrushes of acrylic there are the AK thinners and cleaners, and for holding parts while they set the AK9127 metal clips.
How is it used?
Dampen a paper towel with the cleaner and rub the area. While the surface is still damp, wipe it with a dry towel so that no cleaner residue is left behind. It is not a dipping bath – the product goes on with a towel.
Can it damage plastic?
Yes, if overdone. Left on too long or used in quantity it starts to attack polystyrene. So work quickly and with a small amount – for removing ordinary excess that is more than enough.
Does it work on fresh glue?
Yes, though there it is rarely needed – fresh cyanoacrylate wipes off with a dry towel anyway. The point of the cleaner is that it also deals with glue that has already set.
