Roger that, I too find such books interesting/entertaining even if I don't end up following their advice. Sometimes it's interesting just to see how things have changed over the years.
As far as natural sea sponges, I can see how those would work, because of the of the design of their cells.
I might even try it, but I can't see how a flat synthetic sponge could be safe. If other people get great results using them, I'm glad they have no marring.
The only reasons I can figure for the seasponges working OK are: a) they hold and release a lot of liquid, so they do a lot of flushing of the surface, b) their irregular shape avoids what I think are your concerns about the "flat sponges", and c) the seasponges are *VERY* soft when soaking wet, soft and "floppy" in a way that just seemed really gentle.
When I said,:" My question is, are they really safe to use on paint?" I was referring to the sheepskins. I apologize for not being clear.
Eh, I probably got on a tangent and just ran with it
