This wedge is perfect for my artistic needs.

Muy bien gracias

Yep. Good purchase.

This is an artist’s tool for spreading paint etc. It’s very comfortable to hold and easy to use. It’s flexible and cleans up great.

My ex was a painter and would drag me to art stores periodically and i saw one of these in Dick Blicks and i had no clue what it was but i started playing with it and immediately thought of using it as sort of a flexible bench-knife spatula combo. I was right. I now have multiples of them and using them in baking applications more than most other tools. As a hand tool i have better tactile feeling vs using a handled spatula and it feels less clumsy. It doesn’t scratch or scrape against metal mixing bowls or metal kitchen tables or stone counter tops. Its a little blunt to be using for dividing doughs and such but i still use it 9 out of ten times. It’s stiff but maneuverable with a fatter “handle” end that tapers down to the business end.

I really like the silicone material. I have arthritis in my thumb, and have to be careful with what I use. I could use this tool no problem for painting! With either hand it’s easy to make interesting marks, thick lines, and blend colors. Super easy to wash off again too!

This thing is terrific for spreading gesso. If you put a dollop of gesso (about 1/2 tablespoon or less) on your canvas, then quickly and firmly push the gesso around, using the square end to wipe up slop-overs onto the side and applying that at the corners, you can get a very smooth finish after several coats (I do 6) with no sanding. Works way better for this than a credit card. Ace!

Easy to work with

Better than I expected it

You can see in the photos, the tulip shapes. I carved those out with this tool. It allowed me to take jus what I wanted, off. From the first use I used this tool the most, while starting to experiment & play with cold wax & oil paint. Wrong color choice? No problem - just firmly scrape it all down & wipe the wedge clean. Need a cool texture? Just turn & lightly move. The possibilities are endless. I wish / hope they make this in a slightly smaller size too.
