Dixie Belle Blue Sponge can be used with Dixie Belle Top coats including Gator Hide for a smooth finish. I have personally used them to top coat furniture and home decor items that have painted.
I slightly damp the sponge before using the blue sponge apply a thin coat and let dry and apply a second thin coat. Wash with soap and water.
Throw sponges away when they starts to wear down you might see blue pieces of the sponge.
The Gator Hide Sponge fits in your hand perfectly.
