More Info: Polymer Clay Tutor.\r<br>\r<br>Topics Covered In This Video:\r<br>\r<br>* A Polymer Clay Tool invented by Karen Troise for slicing polymer clay canes.\r<br>\r<br>* Karen sells them at KTWearableArt on Etsy and eBay.\r<br>\r<br>* She designed the tool to make it easier to slice polymer clay canes at any thickness that you require.. very thin or super thick.\r<br>\r<br>* This extruder tool is made up of an acrylic tube and a corresponding acrylic plunger rod.\r<br>\r<br>* The tool comes in 5 sizes.. 3 round and 2 square.\r<br>\r<br>* The round sizes are: Small (3/8th inch) for $9.99; Medium (1/2 inch) for $13.99; Large (3/4 inch) for $14.99.\r<br>\r<br>* The square sizes are: Small (5/8 inch) for $13.99; Large (7/8 inch) $14.99.\r<br>\r<br>* To use, first spritz some water inside the tube. \r<br>\r<br>* Then reduce your cane by hand so that it easily slides into the tube.\r<br>\r<br>* Use the rod to tamp down the cane inside of the tube, in order to compress and expand the cane inside of the tube, with no air pockets.\r<br>\r<br>* Use the rod to push out cane at thge desired thickness.\r<br>\r<br>* Slice cane with sharp stiff blade.\r<br>\r<br>* This tool makes perfectly shaped and evenly sliced cane slices.\r<br>\r<br>* Keeps square canes perfectly square so they fit beautifully together when making patterned cane sheets.\r<br>\r<br>* I also lets you slice canes right down to the very end, with very little waste, some thing that is often difficult to do by hand.\r<br>\r<br>* I give some neat little tips on using extruder disks and acrylic pieces to compress the canes more evenly.\r<br>\r<br>* A plastic photo storage box holds all five tools and the promo card inside.\r<br>\r<br>* Make sure to remove your cane pieces from the tool after you have cut what ever slices you need, so that the clay does not get stuck inside.\r<br>\r<br>* For storage, be sure to clean your polymer clay extruder tool inside and out with a baby wipe\r<br>\r<br>* Related Video: Polymer Cane Slicing Techniques. \r<br>\r<br>* Related Article: How to Slice Polymer Clay Canes. \r<br>\r<br>* Related Video: Simple Slicer Tool for Cutting Polymer Cane Slices. \r<br>\r<br>* Related Article: Slicing Fimo Nail Art Canes. \r<br>\r<br>* Related Video: Slicing Polymer Clay Canes With A Dull Knife Sucks. \r<br>\r<br>And. more info about todays video is at my blog. \r<br>\r<br>Cindy Lietz & Doug Lietz Social Links:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Polymer Clay Tutor.
