They are great! You can usually find them at a hardware store though.
Used in cement work for smoothing the edges of just dried cement.

Hope that helps,

These things are great. They make shelf cleaning very easy and glaze =
drips and runs just pop right off. Don't waste your money buying them =
from a pottery supplier. They may be found at local hardware stores and =
building material suppliers for about 1/3 of the cost.
