Aircraft Sealant Scrapers and Smoothers

Aircraft sealant application and removal tools include smoothers and scrapers for many types of aircraft sealant applications. One of our top sellers is the SCRAPER-1X6 due to its affordability and performance.  

Aircraft sealant scrapers and smoothers are essential tools for effectively removing old sealant and applying new material with precision. When removing sealant, scrapers should be used carefully to avoid damaging the underlying surfaces or structural components. Non-metallic or soft-edged scrapers are often preferred for delicate areas to prevent scratches or abrasions. During application, smoothers are used to evenly distribute the sealant across seams, joints, or fastener heads, ensuring a uniform seal that meets aerospace standards. It is important to select tools appropriate for the type of sealant being applied and to clean them regularly to prevent contamination. Technicians should also follow manufacturer guidelines and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure both the quality of the work and their own safety. Proper use of scrapers and smoothers contributes to the reliability and longevity of the aircraft’s sealed components, maintaining performance and compliance with aviation regulations.
