Is my clay mitt shot?

[badger91]

Hi everyone. I have a Nanoskin clay mitt that I used twice last summer. I mistakingly put it in the package with the clay facing the cardboard packaging and some of the outer layer of the cardboard stuck to my mitt. If I soak it in water and remove the cardboard is it still usable or should I just toss it? Thanks!

I would try running the mitt some warm/hot water for a minute(see/agitate as you go). Being that it has the properties to just wash away contaminates if dropped, I think this method might solve your issue.

It sounds salvageable. But regardless, don’t toss it just yet. A banged up claymitt comes in handy for claying glass and other undesirable areas.

Go outside and clay every piece of glass on the vehicles in your driveway and see if it clears itself up.

I’ve had mine look like that from being inside a plastic baggie. All faded looking and not sticky. +1 to what Eldorado suggested + some warm water to make the rubber more pliable

Ok cool I’ll do that. I am picking up a clay kit to use until I get the mitt I’m working condition. Thinking about it the mitt marred my car a bit last year too so I’m not all that upset that I can’t use it haha. Thanks!

Yepp, i know exactly what you're talking about with the marring. In my experience the mitt's compound is just really stiff, that's why I've incorporated the warm/hot water when using it

I use a cheapo kettle boiler from any retail bargain store, heat up the water and pour the water in a bucket and drop my mitt in there to let it get soft.

I also do this for my clay bars as well and it's simply amazing how easily you can manipulate the clay after that. Give it a try! And hope it helps you!
