Speedball - Best Test® Pik-Up Rubber Cement Eraser

Best Test® Pik-Up Rubber Cement Eraser

Clean up rubber cement residue without damaging your artwork

Dried rubber cement leaves tacky residue that smears if you try wiping it away with your fingers. This specialized eraser lifts those stubborn deposits cleanly without damaging the paper beneath or leaving marks on photographs. The soft, pliable rubber formulation grabs cement remnants effectively while staying gentle enough for delicate surfaces like glossy photo paper and vellum overlays.

Professional layout artists and designers keep this eraser on hand specifically for cleanup after repositioning elements with rubber cement. The 2 × 2 × 7/16 inch block provides substantial working surface while fitting comfortably in your palm for controlled pressure. Unlike general-purpose erasers that can spread cement residue or abrade sensitive materials, this purpose-built tool removes only what you want gone.

Works equally well on mechanical layouts, paste-up boards, and finished artwork where cement has dried beyond its working state. The eraser maintains its effectiveness through repeated use, conforming slightly to surface contours for thorough pickup. Essential for anyone working with traditional layout techniques or mounting processes that rely on rubber cement's repositionable bond.
