Textured Roller TANK

Texturizing roller for spreading and shaping all types of putties, clays, and pastes. Made of non-stick, transparent PMMA plastic. Non-toxic.

• Length: 14.50 cm (5.5 inches)
• Diameter: 2.5 cm (1 inch)
• Scale: 28-35 mm
• Tank footprint width: 10 mm

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mix the sculpting putty/clay according to the manufacturer's instructions.

2. Spread the putty on the surface Texture and even it out for a uniform result. It's easier using a smooth roller.

3rd Depending on the type of material being used, it may be advisable to dampen the roller, or use modeling petroleum jelly if it's very sticky.

4th Roll slowly, applying the same pressure at all points to obtain a similar texture.

5th Trim off excess material. It's recommended to do this once the putty/clay has dried.

MATERIALS:

There is a wide variety of putties and clays on the market, and all of them can be textured by applying the appropriate technique.

Generally, polymer clays (like Super Sculpey polymer clay) are quite easy to work with using these rollers and allow you to correct mistakes since they don't dry until they are baked. If the goal is to create textured bases, we recommend using wooden bases. MDF is suitable because it's possible to texture the clay directly onto the base and then bake everything, base included. The baking time for clays is 15 minutes at 150ºC. The MDF will have a smell similar to toast, but it won't burn. In the case of epoxy putties, there are more differences and more techniques to achieve similar results. The good thing is that they don't need to be baked and can be applied directly to plastic materials. For Green Stuff, which is especially sticky, you'll need to dampen the rollers with a little water. You can also reduce the stickiness of this putty by applying talcum powder or, for best results, a little modeling lubricant. Other epoxy putties, such as Milliput putty, are also suitable, but we recommend not over-wetting them as this makes them difficult to work with. Furthermore, if the mixture is too sticky, it's best to continue kneading until it reduces its stickiness. Adhesion.

With this type of putty, it is very important to clean the rollers after use.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

After finishing working with the rollers, if any material remains on the design, clean with the Scratch brushes and plenty of water.

SAFETY:

These rollers are tools that should not be used by children without adult supervision.
