Shape 2 Red Very Soft Polymer Rib

It is larger than Shape 1 with a longer working edge, so it takes a whole wall in fewer passes and compresses as it goes. Off the wheel it is the shape for smoothing a slab before it stiffens. The size that makes it efficient on open forms is the same size that keeps it out of tight interiors. Red is the second-softest grade. It follows a curve rather than correcting one, which is what you want for burnishing and slip work and wrong for truing a wall. Polymer, so there is no metal edge to bruise the clay. Central hole for hanging.
