Prolux Trim Sealing Iron W/Stand,2x Shoeplates,Uk 3-Pin

The Prolux Trim Sealing Iron (Part No: PX1351GB) is a precision tool designed for RC aircraft hobbyists who need to apply heat-shrink film or fabric coverings. Unlike a standard covering iron, this "trim" version features a small, maneuverable head designed specifically for intricate work around wing tips, tail surfaces, and decorative trim pieces.

Key Features:

• UK 3-Pin Plug: Specifically configured for UK electrical outlets (230V), eliminating the need for travel adapters.
• Precision Shoeplates: Comes with two interchangeable shoeplates—typically one flat for general sealing and one rounded or "spoon-shaped" for getting into tight curves and fillets.
• Adjustable Temperature: Features a built-in thermostat control on the handle, allowing you to fine-tune the heat for different materials (e.g., low heat for Solite/Microlite or higher heat for standard MonoKote/Oracover).
• Teflon Coating: The shoeplates are coated in a non-stick Teflon layer to prevent "scuffing" the film or leaving adhesive residue on the tool.
• Safety Stand Included: Includes a dedicated metal wire stand to keep the hot iron off your workbench during use.

Pro-Modeling Tip:

To keep your iron in perfect condition, consider using a "Shoe Cover" or "Iron Sock." This soft cotton sleeve prevents the metal shoe from accidentally scratching delicate films and helps distribute the heat more evenly. Pro-Tip: Always test the iron on a scrap piece of covering before touching your model to ensure the temperature isn't so high that it melts the film rather than shrinking it.

Safety Note: These irons get extremely hot. Always unplug the unit when not in use and never leave it unattended on the stand.
