Spanish term or phrase: pasta blanda
A document from Spain for translation to British English. Describing problems for supporting bricks in the drying process for brick making.

"... para entender mejor la problemática que puede existir en relación a este punto. El secado de piezas con pasta blanda.
Estas piezas posteriormente al moldeo no pueden soportarse sobre barrotes, ya que estos deformarían la pieza, y en consecuencia éstas deben ser apoyadas sobre una mayor superficie y reducir así su carga específica."

English translation:soft bricks
Explanation:
Se está refiriendo a las piezas en particular, es decir a los ladrillos, y "ladrillos de pasta blanda" se traduce como "soft bricks".

Por ejemplo:

La superficie, que se mantiene húmeda, se repasa varias veces con ladrillo de pasta blanda quitando parcialmente el mortero aplicado.

The surfaces, kept moistened, should be rubbed over more than once with a soft brick to partially remove the mixture applied.
