writes:Those of you working with clay in its various forms might find this tool useful, especially at the price.
This is a Crafter's Square brand craft scraper, which you can find at Dollar Tree in the crafts aisle for $1.25 USD. The packaging says "apply materials clean large areas."
Here it is on my workbench, with a superglue tube to give some idea of size. According to the company website, this tool comes in two colors: purple and white. The color only applies to the top handle area. The one I bought seems to be more pinkish.
The backside has some texture, probably to keep it from slipping out of your fingers.
What's it good for? I would imagine it's good for spreading out clay… and for scraping it back off your working surface. I've found it works fine for cleaning dried white-glue blobs off my cutting board.
