Rolling pin with Handle - Cobblestone 15mm

Textured Roller with Handle

Textured Rolling Pins with handle&nbsp capable of pressing a continuous repeated pattern on all kinds of&nbsp sculpting putties,&nbsp polymer clays, and&nbsp pastes.
Made of clear PMMA plastic with amazing non-stick properties.

Their small size and the innovative design of their ergonomic handle make them an easy tool to transport and use.

There are different textures available that make them compatible with different&nbsp modeling scales. The textures are scalable to cover large surface areas. Also, its handle&nbsp allows us to&nbsp print textures creating curves to give more realism to the&nbsp model&nbsp or&nbsp base.

Roller Width: 4 cm (1.5 inches)
Roller Length with Handle: 14cm (5.5 inches)
Diameter: 2'5cm (1 inch)
Scale: 15-20mm (1/87-1/72)

* The textured rolling pins and their handles are presented unassembled. In the following&nbsp link there is a photo guide to help its assembly.

USE INSTRUCTIONS:
1st - Properly mix the putty/clay until ready according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
2nd - Extend the putty/clay on a surface to be textured. For optimal results, make sure you have got a smooth and even surface before impressing with the Rolling Pins. *** We recommend using a plain Rolling Pin for this.
3rd - Depending on the type of putty/clay, it is advisable to wet the Rolling Pin to prevent any sticking.
4th - Slowly move the Rolling Pin applying equal pressure at all points for an even texture.
5th - Trim any excess putty/clay with a sharp knife. It is recommended to do this once it has dried to avoid any deformations in the putty/clay.

MATERIALS:
There are plenty of different putties and clays on the market and all of them can be textured using the proper technique.
Usually, polymer clay (Fimo&nbsp or&nbsp Sculpey&nbsp 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&nbsp epoxy putties, there are a variety of techniques that achieve similar results. The good thing is. you do not need to bake them, so they may be applied directly onto plastic bases.
For&nbsp Green Stuff putty, which is particularly sticky, it is required to 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 (LINK).
Other epoxy putties like&nbsp Milliput&nbsp /&nbsp Magic Sculpt&nbsp /&nbsp Aves Apoxie Sculpt, 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.&nbsp *** For this type of epoxy putties, it is very important to clean the rolling pins properly after use.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
After working with the Rolling Pins, use a&nbsp Scratch Brush&nbsp (LINK) and plenty of water to clean off any residue on the Rolling Pins if required.

SAFETY:
To ensure safety, children should be closely monitored by a responsible adult.&nbsp &nbsp
