This is the tool I use the most. It is almost always in my hand while working: to gently score tissue for repairs, delicate prying, lifting up tissue or paper, inserting small amounts of adhesive, pressing down repairs, lifting tape, etc….

The white version is very flexible at the tip, making it ideal for pigment consolidation, inserting adhesives, and pressure sensitive tape removal. The super thin, translucent tip bends almost 90 degrees, allowing precise control of downward pressure while sliding under the tape carrier.

Some other uses. Delrin does not rust, photographs easily without reflection, and is food safe in case you get hungry while working. Delrin, approximately 7 x .25 x .25"
