Default blending tools for oxide inks

What do you use? Thanks! I was looking at this vs the Tim Holtz ones

I use both. I use these for small areas and the Ranger blending pads for larger areas.

I use Tim Holtz for sky/background blending. I still find background blending a bit of a challenge even with oxides. I'm using the oxides more for regular stamping since they cover so well. I just want my skies to look like the examples I see......just not there yet.

I use jumbo daubers for blending. I get a smoother blend with them. I've tried the smaller daubers and make-up sponges. The jumbos work the best for me.

I use both, depending on area and effect I want. The flatter Ranger circles cover a wider area. I wouldn't use the finger daubers across an entire card to make a background, for example. But I use them a lot for smaller spaces and even to make dots and stripes, etc.
