They are most commonly referred to as "eraser shavings".
Eraser shavings typically get warm due to the friction generated when erasing. The mechanical energy from rubbing the eraser on paper is converted into heat, making the eraser shavings feel warm to the touch.
Yes, but only if the shavings could be ground into a fine powder
erase something and get the shavings from the eraser and melt them together and you are done
No.
In small amounts, eraser shavings are not harmful to the environment. However, if produced in large quantities and not disposed of properly, they can contribute to pollution. It's best to dispose of eraser shavings in the trash or recycling bin to minimize any potential harm to the earth.
Every spring, there is a vast migration of eraser shavings that all make a pilgrimage to their own version of an elephant graveyard, where the shavings all settle into their final resting place, before being exhumed and excavated and processed into organically recycled erasers.
Try "erasing" an eraser on a wooden table. Smush them together, and keep it going till it gets bigger. You are basically making an eraser 'ball" This eraser "ball" is basically a kneaded eraser.
There are many different names for this. The most common among artists seem to be "eraser residue" or "eraser dust". I've also heard it called "eraser crumbs", which probably comes from the use of bread crumbs to erase prior to the discovery of rubber as an effective eraser. Some people have their own names for it too, such are eraser "bits", "shavings" and "leavings".
you microwave an eraser for ten minutes
This is a guess but my eraser just like melted (atleast I hope its my eraser) and its sticky, but it doesn't seem to stick to the paper so I'd imagine you could just pick-up them a push them together
there is no place to sell eraser shavings..duhhhhhhhh There could be a market for anything as long as a buyer is found, odd items such as eraser shavings, pencil shavings and clothes drier lint might have to be saved in huge quantities to be of any value. The price of storing these items could far exceed any possible profit. Your success not only comes from identifying your buyers but it all comes down to marketing. It you could find a way to to present this as not just eraser shavings but as an ideal solution to a problem that really needs an easy fix. Be creative, and just think of some of the TV adds that come on at 2:00 in the morning and how they present what ever crazy item someone came up with. Just thought of something, Some coin collectors will use an eraser to clean the pollutants and gunk that can build up on coins in circulation. Try to come up with a way to embed your shavings into a soft cloth. Then just go for the right buyer.
