Textured Roller with Diamond Pattern

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

• Length: 14.50 cm (5.5 inches)
• Diameter: 2.5 cm (1 inch)
• Diamond Size: 3 x 1 mm

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mix the sculpting putty/clay thoroughly until ready to use according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

2. Spread the putty/clay onto the surface to be textured. For best results, level and smooth the surface properly before applying the rollers.

*** It is recommended to use A smooth roller for this purpose.

3rd Depending on the type of material being used, it would be advisable to dampen the roller, or use modeling petroleum jelly, to prevent sticking.

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

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

MATERIALS:

There are countless 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 for easy correction of mistakes since they do not dry until baked. If the goal is to create textured bases, we recommend using MDF wood bases as they are It's possible to texture the clay directly onto the MDF base, and then put everything in the oven, including the base. The baking time for the clay is 15 minutes at 150ºC. The MDF will leave 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 onto plastic materials.

In the case of Green Stuff, which is especially sticky, it will be necessary to dampen the rollers with a little water. You can also reduce the stickiness of this putty by applying talcum powder or, for the best results, a little modeling lubricant.

Other epoxy putties like Milliput are also suitable, but we recommend not over-wetting them as this makes them difficult to work with. On the other hand, if the mixture is too sticky, it's best to continue kneading until its stickiness is reduced.

*** With this type of putty, it is very important to properly 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 cleaning brushes and plenty of water.

SAFETY:

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