GT65D Blade 0.10mm for Mr. Line Chisel GT-65

GT65D - a spare 0.10 mm blade for the Mr. Line Chisel GT-65 scriber

A spare scriber blade 0.10 mm wide from the manufacturer Gunze / Mr.Hobby (GSI Creos) for the panel line scriber Mr. Line Chisel GT-65. It is a blade on its own - to be able to use it you have to have the GT-65 scriber (the handle) that the blade clamps into. Anyone who buys only the blade without the scriber has nothing to put it in.

What the scriber is for

Panel and parting lines on a model tend to be molded in only shallowly from the factory and are lost under a clear coat; after sanding seams or filling they disappear altogether. With a scriber the lines are deepened again so that they stay legible once the coat is on and can be brought out with a wash. Engraving is done by pulling - the edge lightly scrapes along the surface in several repeated strokes guided along a template or applied tape, never in one deep cut. The burr that forms is then smoothed away with a sanding sponge.

Why 0.10 mm in particular

• The finest width in the whole range - it creates a hair-thin groove.
• Ideal for the smallest scales (typically 1:144, 1:72), extra fine lines, small details and narrow parting gaps.
• On a large model such a thin line practically disappears - a wider blade suits there.
• The most fragile in the range - press only lightly, otherwise the edge breaks easily.

Who it is for

For modelers who restore fine panels on small models and want the thinnest possible line. Always choose the width according to the scale - a coarse blade makes a trench on a small model, and a fine one disappears on a large one. That is why modelers tend to keep several widths; the GT-65 range covers roughly 0.10 to 1.20 mm and a needle variant completes it. Everything clamps into the same GT-65 scriber.

The blade is very sharp - handle it carefully, draw the strokes away from yourself and keep out of the reach of children.
