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. To ensure optimum results, ensure you have a smooth and even surface before impressing with the rollers. We recommend using a plain roller for this purpose.
• 3rd - Depending on the type of putty/clay, it is advisable to wet the roller to prevent sticking.
• 4th - Move the rolling pin slowly and apply equal pressure at all points for a uniform texture.
• 5th - Cut away excess putty/clay with a sharp blade. It is recommended to do this after it has dried to prevent distortion of the putty/clay.

MATERIALS:

There are numerous different types of putties and clays on the market, and all of them can be textured with the right technique.

Normally, polymer clay (Fimo or Sculpey type) is 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 approximately 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 different 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 roller 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, for example, are also suitable, but we recommend not to wet 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 disappears.

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

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

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

SAFETY:

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