haha. I'd like to figure out who I am. haha. I was planning to buy only the white, but when I saw that a package of three sponges was available for a reasonable price, I decided to purchase it. The white sponge, on the other hand, is only used to smooth the edges. It really works. I believe the remaining two sponges are simply sponges. I haven't come up with a good reason yet. It's possible that the other two help shape because their edges are a little stiffer.
I don't store them because I use them almost every day. They dry hard, just like they did when they were brand new. I don't believe there would be a problem with storing them.
So, what exactly are you talking about? br>I used it to sponge glaze on bisque fire pieces, as well as to absorb excess water on the wheel while making the piece.
I'm not sure what you're looking for. I would say no if you mean do the sponges remove a lot of the clay.

Color is used by mudtools to differentiate between similar products, as is customary. The blue is thinner, more pliable, and has large pores that have a texture similar to that of a kitchen sponge. The orange is firmer and more rigged, with fewer pores and a slightly thicker body. The white has a very smooth texture with no visible pores, is the same thickness as the orange, and is about the same rigidity, if not slightly firmer. I've only just started throwing with them, but I'm already a big fan. The blue one does not appear to have the longest life span, but only time will tell. They arrived completely flat, like spongy chips, which appears odd at first but springs back into shape once wet.
" These sponges were praised as if they were the END ALL BE ALL of sponges, according to the reviews. Maybe that's where I made a mistake? They're good, but I'm not sure why everyone is so excited about them. I'm completely perplexed at this point. br>br>I understand that they're easy to throw and even last a long time, but they're nowhere near as absorbent as my cheap 6/$1 sponge pack. Also, when I'm throwing, their shape is a little awkward for me. I usually use my $1 store sponges, but I was expecting some serious excellence for a 3/$20 pack of SPONGES. These were merely mediocre at best. br>br>For me, the best perk is - They do produce a more even finish than my cheap sponges. For the time being, that is all I have to say. The most serious disadvantage - They aren't particularly absorbent. Perhaps this is why they are so popular? I'm at a loss for words.
The game's best sponge. Mine lasted ten years before being eaten by my dog, so I had to replace them.
These sponges are one of my favorites. It significantly improves the clay's texture. My only complaint is that they lost their color after only a few uses and are now completely white, making it difficult to distinguish between them apart from the sponge texture.
However, they appeal to me. These sponges are one of my favorites. I was a little surprised by how thin they were, but as you can see, I included a photo of each of them partially wet so you can see how big they are when dry and how big they are when wet. I believe these would work best with a clay body that does not contain grog (which is what I have), as the sponges highlight the grog in the clay, giving it a rough surface. So far, I've been using it primarily to add water to the piece while I turn, which makes the small size convenient to tuck in your hand; they all appear to be quite absorbent (perhaps a little more so with the orange and blue) and can hold a decent amount of water, which saves me from sticking my hands in my water bucket every 15 seconds!.
I almost mistook the sponges for the wrong ones when they arrived dry and very thin. They appeared to be regular sponges after being wet. They do a great job and make pulling a lot easier.
They're ideal for throwing because of their ribbed shape. My only criticism is that when you lay them out to dry next to each other, the colors bleed together. It's a little irritating, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to tell which is which based solely on color any time soon.
These sponges were bought for my granddaughter, who is enrolled in a college pottery class. According to her, the instructor recommended them. She claims that they are completing the pottery process to her satisfaction.
