Artistic Control at Your Fingertips!

This silicone rib is a lifesaver for my ceramics work! The firm texture really allows me to manipulate the clay with precision, giving me complete artistic control. It's also amazing when doing intricate details or smoothing out difficult edges. The only downside is that it can be a bit too firm for novices or those looking for a softer touch. Overall, a great addition to any Arts and Crafts toolbox!

Pros
  • Flexible and durable for long-term use.
Cons
  • Silicone texture may require some adjustment period for artists used to traditional rib materials.

Mud Tool Yellow Rib Alternative

Exactly as described, was looking for a tool to smooth and compact my tiles. The Yellow Rib, also sold through Mudtools, sells out consistently, try it you won't be disappointed.

Pros
  • Silicone ribs are more versatile and flexible than traditional wooden ribs.
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Good shape!

I like the shape of this bowl rib. Haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it would make a nice addition to my rib collection. The rubber it's made of seems to be of good quality, so I'm sure it will last me for many years to come. I really want to try other ribs from this company. I'm glad I bought this rib.

Pros
  • This hard, ribbed silicone putty is great for shaping, smoothing and finishing putty in hard-to-reach places.
Cons
  • unreliable
