Troubleshooting

Sponge not cleaning effectively

Ensure the sponge is thoroughly rinsed and free of dried material. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp sponge may be more effective than a very wet one.

Handle feels slippery

Wipe the handle dry. The rubber component is designed for grip, but excessive water or plaster slurry can reduce its effectiveness temporarily.

Sponge material is wearing down quickly

Review the type of material being worked with and the pressure applied. Avoid excessive force or abrasive materials that could damage the sponge.
