Prolux Trim Sealing Iron W/Stand,2x Shoeplates,Eu 2-Pin

The Prolux Trim Sealing Iron (Part No: PX1351) is an essential precision heat tool for RC aircraft builders and restorers. While a standard covering iron is used for large open areas, this "Trim" iron is specifically designed for detail work, compound curves, and applying decorative graphics. The "Eu 2-Pin" designation confirms it is equipped with a Type C (Europlug) for use across Continental Europe.

Key Features:

• Interchangeable Shoeplates: Includes two specialized heads to handle different geometries:
  • Flat Shoe: Ideal for sealing edges and narrow trim strips.
  • Rounded/Spoon Shoe: Designed for fillets, wing roots, and complex 3D curves where a flat iron cannot reach.
• Precision Temperature Control: The handle-mounted dial allows for fine-tuned heat adjustments, essential when working with temperature-sensitive "lightweight" films or high-heat polyester fabrics.
• Teflon-Coated Heads: Both shoeplates feature a non-stick coating to ensure a smooth glide across the film and to prevent adhesive buildup on the tool.
• Ergonomic Handle: Lightweight and shaped like a large pen, providing the dexterity needed for intricate scale detailing.
• Field/Bench Stand: Comes with a metal safety stand to prevent the hot tip from damaging your workspace.

Pro-Modeling Tip:

When applying small trim pieces or "decals" made of covering film, start with a lower temperature than you used for the main wing. This prevents the trim from "sliding" or shrinking prematurely before the adhesive has set. Pro-Tip: Keep a clean, damp cotton cloth nearby; if you accidentally get adhesive on the shoe, wipe it off quickly while the iron is still hot to maintain a smooth gliding surface.

Compatibility Note: If you are located in the UK, you will require the PX1351GB version, or a high-quality earthed travel adapter to use this 2-pin version safely.
