Detail Sponge/Pad by VALLEJO — Vallejo Ammo precision cleaning pad for model painting (1 piece)

VALLEJO Detail Sponge/Pad is a single-piece precision cleaning pad created for model painting and weathering. Designed for controlled application of paints, washes and pigments, the compact sponge enables targeted detailing, chipping effects and subtle texture work on scale models and miniatures. The small size and resilient foam surface make it suitable for touch-ups, localized blending and removing excess product without affecting surrounding areas.

Advantages

The Vallejo Ammo precision sponge offers a durable, finely textured surface that distributes paint and washes evenly while allowing precise control over intensity and pattern. Its single-piece construction is easy to handle for one-handed operation and fits into tight areas on assemblies and miniatures. The pad resists rapid deterioration and maintains shape during repeated use, enabling consistent weathering and detailing results.

Suitable for

• Applying chipping effects and localized wear on scale models
• Stippling and texture creation for terrain pieces and dioramas
• Applying and manipulating washes and pigments in small areas
• Touch-ups and blending on miniatures and finished models

Key specifications

• Single-piece precision foam pad for targeted application
• Compact size suitable for detailed work and tight spots
• Finely textured surface for controlled paint distribution
• Resilient foam that retains shape during repeated use

How to use

Use the Detail Sponge/Pad to pick up a small amount of paint, wash or pigment and gently dab or stipple onto the model surface to create chipping, wear or texture. For subtle weathering, apply product sparingly and build up layers gradually, blending edges by light tapping. To remove excess material, press the sponge lightly on a clean surface before continuing or use it to lift unwanted deposits from the model. Clean the pad after use according to the solvent or medium used to prolong service life.

Usage recommendations

For best results combine the sponge with compatible Vallejo paints, washes and pigments, start with minimal product on the pad and increase intensity gradually; store dry and away from direct sunlight to maintain foam integrity.
