To press fabric wraps onto the natural nail plate and avoid transfer of dust or oil, use ____.

• A. Metal Pusher
• B. Wooden Stick
• C. Thick Plastic
• D. Glass Plate

Answer: (C)

Pressing fabric wraps onto the natural nail plate needs a tool that is clean, non-porous, and smooth so it doesn’t trap oils or dust. Thick plastic fits this need because its non-porous surface won’t absorb or hold contaminants, and its rigidity gives you a firm, even edge to press the fabric into place. This helps ensure the wrap adheres smoothly without transferring dust or oil to the nail. By contrast, wooden sticks can absorb oils and dust, metal pushers can leave residues or scratch the nail, and a glass plate, while non-porous, is less practical for hand pressing and can be less durable in routine use.
