Textured Roller with Diamond Pattern - Small

Textured rollers for shaping or spreading 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)
• Diamond size: 2 x 1 mm

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mix the sculpting material thoroughly according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

2. Spread the putty/clay onto the surface to be textured. For best results, smooth the surface evenly before applying the rollers. It is recommended to use a smooth roller for this.

3. Depending on the type of material chosen, it may be advisable to dampen the roller or use modeling petroleum jelly to prevent sticking.

4th Roll carefully, applying the same pressure to all areas to obtain a consistent texture.

5th Trim off any excess putty/clay once it has fully cured.

MATERIALS:

There are countless putties and clays on the market, and all can be textured using the appropriate technique.

Generally, polymer clays (like Super Sculpey) are quite easy to work with using these rollers and allow for easy correction of mistakes since they don't dry until baked. If the goal is to create textured bases, we recommend using MDF bases, as it's possible to texture the clay directly onto the MDF base and then bake it. included. The baking time for the clays is 15 minutes at 150ºC. The MDF wood will leave a smell similar to toast, but it will not burn.

If we are talking about epoxy putties, there are more differences and more techniques to achieve similar results. With this material, there is no need to bake, and they 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 by applying talcum powder or a little petroleum jelly for best results.

Other epoxies like Milliput are also suitable, but they should not be dampened too much, as this makes them difficult to work with. On the other hand, if the mixture is too sticky, it is best to continue kneading until its stickiness is reduced.

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

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

After using the rollers, clean with the special Scratch brushes and plenty of water if any residue remains on the item.

SAFETY:

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