Members Danne Posted July 19, 2021 Members Report Posted July 19, 2021 I recently saw someone using isopropanol to even out the last layer of edge paint. (It was a story clip on Instagram, but can't find it now) he used a small white "sponge looking thing" and he held it with some tweezers. It almost looked like magic eraser. Anyone know what I talk about? I would guess this is also used by some people to dye or paint edges. Quote
Members jcuk Posted July 19, 2021 Members Report Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) I have and do use these for dying and edge stain, great for applying Resolene. Not sure if its what you are looking for. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pack-Wedge-Make-Blenders-Sponges/dp/B005YBIXP4/ref=asc_df_B005YBIXP4/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=217982879167&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4162468120017455124&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006644&hvtargid=pla-421633120211&psc=1 Hope this helps JCUK Edited July 19, 2021 by jcuk Quote

Will have to look around here in the city, so I don't have to order something like that online. They are cheap, but shipping will cost a lot for that low amount. Quote

Members Rahere Posted July 19, 2021 Members Report Posted July 19, 2021 The original idea goes back to the seventies for sure, likely older, someone took a knife to a bath sponge, stuck a chunk in some florists wire and span it closed in a hand drill. Now you can get craft EVA and upholstery foam, you can likely carve to shape. Quote
