Ok, so I’m frugal and also dislike the sanding stage. I’ve finally reached the stage of adding a little finishing touches to my pottery (7 years in!). I purchased the 60 & 120 grit sponges and immediately blown away. I typically buy the disposable sanding items from dollar stores and call it done. Since venturing into different clay bodies, some pieces are still a bit too rough on the bottom. I tested the 60 grit on a few finished pieces and it took very little effort to smooth a few pieces to give a finish touch. I also had one finished piece that had a random attached glaze crystal from winterwood in the bottom, came right off!! I highly recommend these sponges and can’t believe I waited so long to purchase!

A very handy tool for smoothing the bottoms of pots. Its great for small pots. (Big pots, too).
