I draw a lot of comicbook characters and this eraser pad is great when i want to lighten up a line. It doesn't erase too much or too little, just what I need. The only problem I found with it is that it doesn't work when wet. I spilled some ink on it and it washed off great but I had to wait a week before I used it again

These knitted, porous fabric bags filled with a material like finely ground art gum eraser are very effective for gently cleaning graphite drawings. I do a lot of graphite-on-vellum work. For precise, descriptive drawing I regularly knead the bag lightly over the drawing in progress and leave the fine eraser dust on the surface which prevents smudging of graphite lines by drawing instruments. In freer, more expressive drawing on vellum, I often allow natural smudging to build up a background tone in the drawing and then use an Alvin dry cleaning bag directly on the drawing to lift out beautiful, soft highlights, more luminous than any other method I know. The same technique works very well for soft highlights in compressed pastel renderings. I couldn't get along without these little eraser bags.
The only fault is that the stitching that closes the ends of the bag often begins to loosen and leak coarse eraser fragments long before the bag is used up.

I have had my previous Alvin Dry Cleaning Pad for a number of years and it had served me well.

It has been used for my artwork and picture framing with the best results. When it no longer worked I realized that it had served me for at least 6 years, so I bought another one.
