In Trying out tools for mishima designs, I decided to also try out round plastic scouring pads.

Pros:

  • Does not clog with clay dust.
  • Might be useful for very delicate but large pieces.

Cons:

  • Does not remove much material at all.
  • Hard to achieve fine control in what areas are being scoured.
Not recommended for most mishima applications. These may be helpful to remove small amounts of material from large areas.
