Care and Use
- Clean immediately after use: After use, wash off any slip with clean water and a sponge immediately. Do not let the slip dry and stick to the surface, as this will make the surface rough and cause scratches next time.
- Avoid high heat: Do not leave in direct sunlight for long periods or near a ceramic kiln, as high heat can cause the polymer to deform, warp, or lose its flexibility.
- Store flat: Store the rib flat in a tool box or hang it (if it has a hanging hole). Do not place heavy objects on top of it in a way that causes it to bend and stay bent, as this can permanently deform the plastic.
- Dry thoroughly before long-term storage: Before storing in a tool box for an extended period, it is recommended to wipe it completely dry with a clean cloth to prevent the accumulation of damp stains or mold.
