Care and Use
To maintain the flexibility and longevity of the Polymer Rib, please follow these care instructions:
- Clean immediately after use: After use, wash off any clay slip with clean water and a sponge immediately. Do not let the slip dry and stick to the surface, as this can make the surface rough and cause scratches in the future.
- Avoid high heat: Do not leave it in direct sunlight for long periods or place it near a ceramic kiln, as high heat can cause the polymer material to deform, warp, or lose its flexibility.
- Store flat: The Rib should be stored flat in a tool box or hung (if there is a hanging hole). Avoid placing heavy objects on top in a way that causes the rib to bend permanently, as this can permanently deform the plastic.
- Wipe dry before long-term storage: Before storing in a tool box for an extended period, it is recommended to wipe it thoroughly dry with a clean cloth to prevent the accumulation of damp stains or mold.
