Prolux 230V Thermal Sealing Trim Iron
Description
The Prolux 230V Thermal Sealing Trim Iron (Part No: PLX1351) is a specialized heat tool designed for the precision application of heat-shrinkable covering films and tapes. While a standard large iron is used for the "heavy lifting" on wings and fuselages, the Trim Iron is the "fine-detail brush" of the RC world, allowing builders to reach into tight corners and seal intricate decorative patterns.
Key Features:
- Interchangeable Precision Shoes: Comes with two distinct Teflon-coated heads—one flat for seams and edges, and one rounded/spoon-shaped for compound curves and fillets.
- Variable Heat Control: Equipped with an adjustable thermostat dial on the handle, allowing you to match the temperature to various materials (low heat for delicate films or high heat for heavy-duty fabrics).
- High-Dexterity Design: The slim, lightweight handle provides the control needed for delicate scale work and complex trim schemes without straining the hand.
- Non-Stick Teflon Coating: The heads are treated to ensure a smooth, snag-free glide over the film while preventing the accumulation of melted adhesive.
- Safety Stand: Includes a wire metal stand to safely cradle the iron when not in use, protecting your workbench from heat damage.

Application Tip:
When sealing edges or "trim" pieces, always work from the center outward to avoid trapping air bubbles. Pro-Tip: If you find the iron is dragging or sticking, the temperature might be slightly too high for that specific brand of film. Turn the dial down and wipe the shoe with a clean cotton cloth while warm to restore the smooth "Teflon glide."
