Do mold lines have you pulling your hair out? Not anymore with this unique tool that helps eradicate those pesky plastic mold lines!
This is not a toothbrush, even though at times it looks like it! We reviewed a unique hobby tool that can help with model assembly. Getting rid of mold lines on plastic models is not the most exciting aspect of the hobby, but this polisher tool can make it go more quickly.
Clean Plastic & Resin Mold Lines Quickly With this Tool
This is not an electric toothbrush! The Cordless Polisher Pro is a hobby tool with an oscillating head that can help sand down those mold lines. The Polisher comes with some sticky pads that have a gritty surface like an Emory board. Other tools in the market can be too much for plastic miniatures, chipping away at crucial components instead of a pesky mold line.

One of the best parts about this is it’s pretty easy to use. Just be sure when using the polisher tool, use light pressure on your models. Rob just turns it on and applies it to the model everywhere that has a line with that light and consistent pressure. The 1000 grit pads are great for light and easy mold line removal. Just go back over the lines until you’re happy with the results, it’s honestly that simple. The Polisher leaves a super smooth surface on your models after using it.
More Detailed Minis
On more detailed and intricate models, it may be more difficult to hit the mold lines with the Polisher. Just revert back to your hobby knife to get hard-to-reach mold lines. Big exposed chunks of flash and mold lines are easily removed with the Polisher, however. Just switch up your grit pad heads to a smaller grit count to hit those tougher plastics. A 600 grit pad works great, even on those Forge World models.
Forge World Minis
Slip molds on Forge World models can be a huge pain to deal with. A safe and easy solution has been difficult to find, but the Polisher is ready for the job! The Polisher Pro is able to sand down even the toughest mold lines on your plastic and resin models. Add this tool to your hobby tool kit to help make your assembly smooth and fun!
