✏️ SOLID ERASERS I TESTED IN THIS VIDEO WITH RESULTS!
Notes: I judge how good each eraser is by how well it erases (how many dabs it takes to erase something), how well it holds its shape when I mold it/when I use it to erase something. Erasers ranked as mediocre are still viable, they're just less effective to work with (eg: it may require more effort to erase with)

- Sakura Latex-Free, Non-PVC Eraser (Quick to knead. Doesn't require adhesive. Makes a great kneaded eraser.)

- Random white eraser from an old pencil case. I probably haven't used it in like 12 years (It was so stiff that it didn't even feel like rubber (It still worked anyway. I was able to quickly form it into a putty without any adhesive. Makes a good kneaded eraser)

- Paw Patrol Eraser from dollarstore (Quick to knead. Crumbly putty. Needs some adhesive. Makes a good kneaded eraser)

- Studio HB Pencil from dollarstore (Results were similar to the Pink Pearl eraser. Makes a mediocre kneaded eraser)
