In English, a hera may be referred to as a spatula, a spreader, or even a squeegee.There are a variety of styles. I prefer the the all-wood versions. Debabera have a handle that extends out to one side and komabera are square with an extra reinforcement at the top. In a pinch, a silkscreen squeegee pay be used instead, or even an old credit card.
komabera sizes:
small, 2.75" across base ($15)
medium, 3.5" across base ($20)
large, 4.75" across base ($25)
The largest debabera I sell is most often used to apply the paste when preparing a pasteboard. These are no longer being manufactured.
Please note - the smaller debabera , number 1, is currently unavailable.
