Kemper - Wipe Out Tool

Wipe Out Tool

Remove gilding errors precisely without damaging your base surface

Overglaze mistakes happen, a stray brushstroke, smudged detail, or color that landed wrong. This specialized rubber tool lifts fresh gold luster and most painting mediums from non-porous surfaces without damaging underlying work. The soft, tacky rubber attracts wet pigment through gentle contact rather than abrasive scrubbing, giving you clean corrections on porcelain, glass, and glazed ceramics.

Kemper designed this eraser specifically for china painting and decorative work where precision matters. Press the rubber lightly against the error and lift; the medium transfers to the tool rather than spreading across your piece. Work quickly while paint remains wet for cleanest removal. The compact size provides control for detailed corrections, fixing fine lines, cleaning edges, or removing unwanted spots from intricate patterns.

Keep one at your workspace for immediate fixes during painting sessions. The rubber cleans easily with soap and water between uses, maintaining its tackiness through multiple corrections. China painters working with lusters and overglaze enamels rely on this tool for the kind of precise cleanup that keeps detailed work crisp.
