this has to be the worst rouging stick I ever bought, Dose not work ,Tried all kinds of wipes ,Three times two times one ,four five and nothing work,Stay away.Comes whit NO directions

I picked this up as an auction item, as I was curious to see how it compared with other roughing options. It’s not bad, but I found it a little finicky. If you follow the instructions (though I did need a heavier application to both cards), this performs pretty well. But it does seem to work more by adhesion than friction, which means the cards hold pretty well until separated but not as well if you’re trying to re-adhere the cards on the fly. I’m not sure I’d buy this over other products on the market, but it’s okay for the price and a block will last you a while.

I tried several different "applications" and amounts but it just doesn't work. If anyone can tell me how to at least R&S just two cards it would be appreciated.

I haven't been using for a long time but it did help bring a packet rough and smooth trick back to life.

It isn't friction based but it allow for easier separation than some other roughing methods.

It is a good roughing tool, but some may prefer older methods this is more modern take that has some good applications.

So far it seems once you separate you would have to reapply the roughing cube to use again.

This could be an advantage but for most it would mean extra work.

Recommend as a roughing tool for your toolbox.
