Overview

Woodleys Foam Sponges can be used for applying a variety of water-based and solvent-based wood finishes to wooden furniture, flooring, staircases, doors and other wood surfaces. Great for intricate projects like picture frames, home crafts and stair spindles.

Application

Always do a test area when starting any project and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin of wood finish you are using at all times.

  1. When applying wood finishes by hand, it is recommended that suitable gloves are worn
  2. Dip the edge of the sponge into the desired finish and carefully apply to the wood surface
  3. Avoid saturating the sponge in product as this may result in dripping or over application
  4. Allow finish to dry and clean your sponge in warm soapy water (or as otherwise directed by instructions on the tin of product you are using)

Please note: When applying wood oils, sponges should be thoroughly washed in water and stored in an air-tight container until fully dry, and before disposing of them. This is to avoid the risk of spontaneous combustion.

Excellent for applying OSMO polyx tint oil

Really quick to apply a thin layer of OSMO oil. I was so pleased I'd bought the sponges. I only needed two to oil the floor in two quite big rooms.

Works well applying the right amount of product to obtain the best finish.

A sponge is a sponge but like any tool, having the right one for the job usually gets the best result. This inexpensive sponge worked well during product application and did exactly what it was designed to do. The result was that the product was applied evenly to the wood without pooling and achieved an excellent finish.

close cell foam that collapses quickly

OK at the start, although a touch small for my hand, the foam collapses quite quickly, becoming a tiny scrap of non-absorbent stuff. You would get through loads of these on a job.

Thank you for your feedback on these sponges, it is fair to say that in most cases these are a one use disposable product. With some care and dependant on the product that you use them for, they can be washed and reused, but for large areas or prolonged use they will become less absorbant over time. It a shame that they were not quite the right product for your job and I hoped that the brush that you also had was ideal for completing the job. Kind regards Sam.

Great for applying oils.

Wish I'd used these years ago. Give a great even finish when applying oil finishes. Easy to use little mess and doesn't absorb as much oil as rags etc so less waste.
