All my WB sponges have always been 'segmented', ie sliced into one inch squares if you know what I mean.I understood this to be able to 'move', the grout about! My new sponges are 'solid', any thoughts lads on whether this will affect performance, Thanks

Just use your utility knife john and cut segments into them....the segments grab the grout better...

I use the segmented ones, never used the solid ones mate

That's what I thought Dave

the ones I got with my KD were solid, but I prefer the segmented ones too, I think the water comes out easier as well

I think you will find the solid ones are the real cheap pretend ones ete

just got a new one from tradetiler and its a solid one - i was expecting a segmented one!
will it work the same dave if you chop it up yourself?!

You don't exactly chop it up...:lol:..just use a sharp stanley type knife and run the square slits in it..about half way through...

If i can only get the solid ones I just cut segements into them with a stanley, never really noticed a difference between ones bought cut or cut myself.
