ROLLING PIN ELDAR 1683

Rolling Pin ELDAR 1683

Textured rolling pins capable of impressing a continuous repeated pattern on clay and putties. Made of clear PMMA plastic with amazing non-stick properties. Non-toxic. They come in different textures that you can buy according to your specific needs.

Length: 14'50 cm (5'5 inch)

Diameter: 2'5cm (1 inch)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

• 1st - Mix the putty/clay well until ready according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
• 2nd - Spread the putty/clay on a surface to be textured. For optimal results, ensure you have a smooth and even surface before impressing with the rolling pins. We recommend using a regular rolling pin for this.
• 3rd - Depending on the type of putty/clay, it is advisable to wet the rolling pin to avoid sticking.
• 4th - Move the rolling pin slowly, applying equal pressure at all points for an even texture.
• 5th - Cut away excess putty/clay with a sharp blade. It is recommended to do this after it has dried to avoid deformations in the putty/clay.

MATERIALS:

There are many different types of putty and clay on the market, and all of them can be textured with the right technique.

Normally, polymer clays (Fimo or Sculpey type) are quite easy to work with these rolling pins, as they allow for easy correction of errors before baking. If the intention is to create a textured base, we recommend using an MDF base, as you can texture the polymer clay directly onto an MDF base and then place everything in the oven, including the base. The cooking time for these clays is about 15 minutes at 150ºC. MDF wood may leave a slight odor, similar to that of toasted bread, but don't worry, it won't burn!

In the case of epoxy putties, there are several techniques that yield similar results. The good thing is, you don't need to bake them, so they can be applied directly to plastic bases.

For Green Stuff putty, which is particularly sticky, it is required to lightly moisten the putty or the rolling pin with some water before texturing. You can also reduce stickiness by applying talcum powder or using Sculptor Vaseline.

Other epoxy putties such as Milliput putty are also suitable, but we recommend not wetting them too much as this will hinder your work. Furthermore, if the mixture is too sticky, it is better to continue kneading until the stickiness is gone.

For this type of epoxy putties, it is very important to clean the rolling pins thoroughly after use.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

After working with the rolling pins, use a scrubbing brush (LINK) and plenty of water to remove any residue on the rolling pins, if necessary.

SAFETY:

To ensure safety, children should be closely supervised by a responsible adult.
