if you tear the paper out, is it still 8.5x 5.5 or is that the size of the paper including where the spiral goes through the paper?

When you tear out the paper it is 8.5x5.5. The portion connected to the spiral is not included in the paper dimensions.

How well can this paper hold up to erasing? I plan to sketch mandalas in pencil then erase after using gel pens. What is durability for this purpose?

I'd try their mixed media style paper & I'm purdy sure they carry a blk version tho I've never tried it but it stood up in white to a cupl light mistakes I would make nothing like this tho but I think it's one of their toughest style the mixed version but for this id be erasing all the time lol I can't draw whatsoever either so that PROBLY matters here :) I'd try that since they said it didn't hold well. They did point out the blk almost faded behind the erasing which I gotta admit doesn't sound style specific that sounds like maybe the dye in the ppr needs to be better suited maybe another brand is better for this specific situation even tho Canson is my absolute favorite for most stuff I love their ppr usually go with mixed cuz of it's extreme durability with any media I feel like depending on a particular day which can vary extensively so it's better for me but this is great for black metallic pens which i use it for but I'm sorry I didn't erase much on that. Good luck!

Do gel pens work on it?

Gel pens work beautifully on this paper

does this paper have tooth?

Yes, I found this to be an excellent brand of sketch paper, & it does have some tooth to it. It isn't super heavy grain, smoother than some, but definitely takes the colored pencils that I bought with the sketch pad very well. The colors lay down clear & vibrant & cling to the surface very well. Hope this is helpful.
