Setup
The Amazon Basics Block White Erasers come in a pack of 10, enclosed in a plastic bag, which contains a cardboard box. Each individual eraser is further protected by a shrink-wrap film and a cardboard sleeve.
- Carefully open the outer plastic bag and remove the cardboard box containing the erasers.
- Open the cardboard box to access the individually wrapped erasers.
- To use an eraser, gently remove the shrink-wrap film. This may require a small amount of effort or a sharp object like scissors if the seal is particularly tight.
- The eraser is encased in a protective cardboard sleeve. This sleeve is designed to help you hold the eraser without getting your fingers directly on the erasing surface, keeping it clean and effective.

Operating Instructions
These erasers are effective for removing pencil marks from various paper surfaces. For optimal results, consider the following:
- Pressure: Apply light to moderate pressure when erasing. Excessive pressure, especially on delicate paper, can damage the paper surface.
- Paper Type: The eraser performs well on standard paper and watercolor paper. On watercolor paper or other textured surfaces, it is recommended to use lighter pencil lines to ensure clean erasure without affecting underlying artwork (like watercolor or ink).
- Eraser Residue: The eraser will produce small shavings as it works. Gently brush these away from your work surface to avoid smudging.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Amazon Basics Block White Eraser, follow these simple maintenance tips:
- Keep Clean: After use, gently wipe any pencil residue from the eraser surface. This prevents transfer of graphite to new work.
- Storage: Store erasers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original box or a pencil case can protect them from dirt and damage.
- Avoid Bending: While durable, avoid excessive bending or twisting of the eraser to prevent breakage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your eraser's performance, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Eraser leaves smudges. | Eraser surface is dirty or saturated with graphite. | Rub the eraser on a clean scrap piece of paper to remove excess graphite. |
| Pencil marks are not fully removed. | Pencil line is too dark or paper is too textured/delicate. | Apply slightly more pressure (if paper allows) or use lighter pencil lines for initial sketches. For delicate paper, consider a kneaded eraser. |
| Eraser is breaking apart easily. | Excessive pressure or improper storage. | Use lighter pressure. Store erasers properly to prevent them from drying out or becoming brittle. |
