MATERIALS:
There are plenty of different putties and clays on the market and all of them can be textured with the proper technique.
Usually, polymer clay (Fimo or Sculpey type) is quite simple to work with these Rolling Pins as they allow for an easy correction of mistakes before they are baked. If the aim is to make textured bases, we recommend using MDF bases, because you can texture the polymer clay directly onto an MDF base, and then put it all in the oven, including the base. The cooking time of these clays is around 15 minutes at 150ºC. MDF Wood may leave a slight scent similar to that of toasted bread, but don't worry it won’t burn!
In the case of epoxy putties, there are a variety of techniques that achieve similar results. Good thing is you do not need to bake them, so they may be applied directly onto plastic bases.
For Green Stuff putty, which is particularly sticky, slightly wet either the putty or the Rolling Pin with some water before texturing. You may also reduce the stickiness by applying talcum powder or using Sculptor Vaseline.
Other epoxy putties like the Milliput putty, for example, are also suitable, but we wouldn't recommend wetting them much since it will hinder your work. Furthermore, if the mixture is too sticky, it is better to continue kneading until the stickiness is gone.
*** For epoxy putties, it is very important to clean the rolling pins properly after use.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
After working with the Rolling Pins, use a Scratch Brush and plenty of water to clean off any residue on the Rolling Pins.
