Our pottery Sticky Pad (aka sticky mat or gripping pad) is a must-have tool for trimming greenware and low-profile pieces. The thick, rubbery material helps grip the piece and adds extra stability, making the trimming process easier and resulting in a better finished product. The Sticky Pad comes in an 8-inch or 12-inch diameter to meet your needs.
