Textured Rolling Pin With Handle - Dutch Bricks 15mm

Textured Rolling Pin With Handle - Dutch Bricks 15mm

Textured rolling pin with handle that can press a continuous, repeating pattern onto all types of modeling putty, polymer clays, and pastes.
Made from clear PMMA plastic with amazing non-stick properties.

Thanks to their small size and the innovative design of their ergonomic handle, they are easy to transport and use.

Various textures are available, making them compatible with different modeling scales. The textures are scalable to cover large areas, and thanks to their handle, they allow embossing textures that create curves to add more realism to the model or base.

Roller width: 4 cm (1.5 inches)
Roller length with handle: 14 cm (5.5 inches)
Diameter: 2.5 cm (1 inch)
Scale: 15-20mm (1/87-1/72)

* The textured rolling pins and their handles are supplied unassembled.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
1. - Mix the putty/clay, modeling compounds, thoroughly until it is ready according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
2. - Spread out the putty/clay, modeling compounds. For better results, smooth the mass. * We recommend using a flat, untextured rolling pin for this purpose.
3. - Depending on the type of material, we recommend moistening the roller to prevent sticking to the roller.
4. - Move the roller with punctual, even pressure to ensure a continuous texture.
5. - Cut off excess material on the sides with a sharp knife. We recommend letting the material dry beforehand.

MATERIALS:
There are many different putties and types of clay on the market, and all can be textured with the right technique.
Modeling with these rolling pins and polymer clay (Fimo or Sculpey type) is usually quite easy, as polymer clay allows for easy error correction due to the heat required for curing.
If the goal is to model textured bases, we recommend using MDF wood bases. It is possible to texture the material directly on the bases and then bake the model together with the MDF wood bases in the oven at 150ºC for 15 minutes. The MDF wood bases will not burn and will lightly smell reminiscent of toast.
In the case of epoxy putties, there are different techniques to achieve similar results. The advantage with these materials is that they do not need to be baked, but can be textured directly.
When using Green Stuff, which is particularly sticky, it is advisable to moisten the surface of the roller or the mass with a little water before impressing the texture.
Talcum powder, or even directly applied modeling petroleum jelly, can also reduce the stickiness of Green Stuff.
Other epoxy putties, e.g., Milliput / Magic Sculpt / Aves Apoxie Sculpt modeling compounds, can also be used. However, these should not be moistened, as it unnecessarily complicates the work. If Milliput appears too sticky, the mass should be kneaded until the stickiness subsides.

CLEANING AND CARE:
After using the roller, it should be cleaned with a scratching brush and plenty of water to remove any residue of the material used.

SAFETY:
Children should always be in the presence of a responsible adult when using.
