Again
this week if you are also following my Clay 101 series on my 18”
doll channel you have already seen the majority of this content.
Since I had filmed it and I thought that the information was perfect
for a tips video I decided to use it for both channels. I hope you
all don't mind too much.
The
secret to successfully using a pasta machine for clay is really to
keep it clean. The quick little tips I showed (especially wiping it
with the wet wipe and running white scrap clay through) really will
help to keep it clean. If you do those two things every time you use
your pasta machine you won't have to deep clean it very often.
Just
keep in mind to never use any tool to clean the pasta machine that
could scratch the rollers. That is why I stick to wooden toothpicks
and bamboo skewers. It might take a moment or two longer to clean
with those than say a sharp metal instrument but the risk of ruining
the rollers is too great. Once you have scratches on the rollers you
will always have problems.
thanks for the tip, I cant get to mine yet I have too much stuff in my craft room but I have one box left to sort though and then it's on to the table for a summer of clay! I know Im excited!
