Shape 3 - wide rib · About 13 cm (5 in) wide · For platters and large forms · Fewer passes over a wide surface · Green = medium flexibility · Polymer, no sharp metal edge · Hanging hole

Shape 3 is the wide one, roughly 13 cm (5 in) across, and it exists for large work. Green sits in the middle of the five-level scale.

On a big platter or the outside of a tall form the extra width means fewer passes and fewer seams between passes. On anything small it is unwieldy, and that is the trade: it buys coverage and spends manoeuvrability. Green sits in the middle of the five-level scale. If you are buying one grade to start with, this is the one that does the most jobs adequately. Polymer, so there is no metal edge to bruise the clay. Central hole for hanging.
