NECRONIC
Textured Rolling Pins capable of pressing a continuous repeated pattern on
clay and putties. Made of clear PMMA plastic with amazing non-stick
properties. Non-toxic. They come in several different textures that you can
purchase based on your specific needs.
Length: 14’50 cm (5’5 inches) **
extended version with all surface with texture.
Diameter: 2’5cm
(1 inch)
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 or Sculpey type) are
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 are 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 which 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, 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 the Milliput putty, for example, are also suitable,
but we wouldn’t recommend to wet 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 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 Scratch Brush (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.
