Description
Using a clay extruder for polymer clay can help you create various shapes, patterns, and textures for your projects. Here’s how to use it effectively:
1. **Condition the Clay**: Knead the polymer clay until it’s soft and pliable. This makes it easier to extrude.
2. **Prepare the Extruder**: Choose the disk with the desired shape or pattern and insert it into the end of the extruder.
3. **Load the Clay**: Roll the clay into a cylindrical shape that fits into the barrel of the extruder. Insert the clay into the barrel.
4. **Assemble the Extruder**: Attach the handle or cap to the extruder and ensure it’s securely in place.
5. **Extrude the Clay**: Slowly turn the handle or press the lever to push the clay through the disk. Maintain a steady pace to ensure an even extrusion.
6. **Use the Extruded Clay**: Once the clay is extruded, you can cut, shape, and arrange it as needed for your project. You can combine different shapes and colors to create intricate designs.
7. **Clean the Extruder**: After use, clean the extruder and disks thoroughly to prevent any clay residue from hardening and affecting future use.
