Mudtools Shape 0 polymer rib

Mudtools Shape 0 polymer rib measures 3.5 × 7 cm, has a classic kidney shape and is ideal for precise work on details and in tight, hard-to-reach areas.

Mudtools Shape 0 Polymer Rib

Mudtools Shape 0 is the smallest polymer rib in the Mudtools range. It measures 3.5 × 7 cm and has a classic kidney shape that sits comfortably in the hand and allows precise control when working across the clay surface.

Its compact size makes it easier to work in tight spaces and to smooth and shape small areas of a form. Shape 0 is particularly useful for detail work, refining edges and guiding the rib along the inner and outer walls of a vessel. It can be used for wheel throwing, handbuilding and sculpting.

The rib is made from a flexible polymer that resists wear and does not develop burrs. Its surface gradually becomes smoother with use. Shape 0 is available in five levels of flexibility, allowing you to choose the right rib for the type of work.

Key Information

• Shape 0 measures 3.5 × 7 cm and is the smallest polymer rib in the Mudtools range.
• Its classic kidney shape and compact size make it ideal for detail work and hard-to-reach areas.
• The rib is suitable for wheel throwing, handbuilding and sculpting.
• Ultra Soft – pink – provides the greatest flexibility.
• Very Soft – red – is particularly useful for refining and finishing vessel rims.
• Soft – yellow – provides a high degree of flexibility during use.
• Medium – green – provides more stable and controlled contact with the clay.
• Firm – blue – is the least flexible of the five Shape 0 options.
• The polymer resists wear and does not develop burrs, while its surface gradually becomes smoother with use.
