This neat little tool can be used to spread your inks, chalks or paints evenly across your stamps. It is also excellent for burnishing, masking or evenly taping things down. No more sore fingers! You can also use it to spread your ink into your brand spanking new ink pads! And because it's not a foam roller, you get more out of the inks and mediums than without it!
