Arcano Textured Roller

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

• Length: 14.50 cm (5.5 inches)
• Diameter: 2.5 cm (1 inch)

INSTRUCTIONS:

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

2. Roll out the putty/clay onto the surface to be textured. For best results, even out and smooth the surface properly before applying the rollers. A smooth roller is recommended for this purpose.

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

4th Roll slowly, applying the same pressure to all areas to achieve a uniform texture.

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

MATERIALS:

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

Generally, polymer clays (like Super Sculpey Beige) 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 wood bases, as it is possible to texture the clay directly onto the MDF base and then bake everything, base included. The baking time for clays is 15 minutes. 150ºC. MDF wood will leave a smell similar to toasted bread, but it will not burn.

When working with epoxy putty, there are more differences and more techniques to achieve similar results. The positive aspect is that it does not need to be baked and can be applied directly to 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 its stickiness by applying talcum powder, or for best results, a little modeling petroleum jelly.

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. On the other hand, if the mixture is too sticky, it is best to continue kneading until its stickiness is reduced.

With these putties, it is essential to properly clean the rollers after use.

CLEANING AND CARE: After using the rollers, if any material remains on the design, clean with the Scratch tools and plenty of water. SAFETY: These items are tools that should not be used by children without adult supervision.
