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)
Diameter: 2’5cm (1 inch)
Pattern Size: 1-4 mm (variable with multiple stone types, all of them different)
Recommended Scales: 1/144 - 1/100 - 1/72 (12-15-20mm miniatures)

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 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.

The glue for plastics, specially designed for model making and model kits, known as cement glue, is now available in a blue-colored version. This adhesive retains all the effectiveness and strength of the original transparent version, with the additional advantage of a blue tint that clearly indicates the areas where the glue has been applied.

This blue modeling glue comes in liquid form and is applied directly onto the surfaces intended to be joined. Its blue coloration provides excellent visual contrast, allowing precise identification of glue placement before it dries. This feature is particularly beneficial given the fast-drying properties typical of cement glues. With transparent versions, it can sometimes be difficult to see where the adhesive has been applied before it sets, making accurate placement challenging.

Like the transparent variant, the blue cement glue works by partially melting the surfaces it contacts, creating a chemical "weld" between them. This chemical fusion results in a strong bond, free of visible joints, similar to metal welding. It is especially effective for materials commonly used in model-making, such as polystyrene, uABS, plasticard, and HIPS.

Key advantages of using blue plastic glue include enhanced ease and accuracy during application due to the visibility of its color, along with maintaining the bond strength, rapid drying time, and compatibility with a variety of modeling materials. This results in a cleaner, more professional finish, ensuring durable and seamless connections.

As with transparent cement glues, it is essential to use the blue version in a well-ventilated area to avoid harmful inhalation caused by vapors released during the drying process.

To achieve optimal bonding with blue cement glue, surfaces must be properly prepared. This includes thorough cleaning to remove any dirt or grease, lightly sanding to enhance adhesion, and precise application using a fine brush or needle. Firmly pressing and holding the parts together during drying ensures strong, bubble-free bonding. Any excess glue should be promptly removed to maintain a neat finish.

Beyond their adhesive properties, GSW plastic adhesives can also be used to give texture to plastic surfaces with exceptional realism. When a thin layer of cement is applied and allowed to react for a few seconds, the surface softens slightly, becoming malleable enough to be shaped with a stiff brush, sponge, or even a dry piece of sprue. This technique allows modelers to texture subtle surface imperfections and natural roughness directly into the plastic.

The resulting texture faithfully reproduces the look of molten metal, heat-distorted panels, oxidized armor, or cast industrial surfaces. It is particularly effective for armored vehicles, tanks, mechanical bases, and diorama structures, where it helps achieve a convincingly aged or battle-worn finish that looks far more organic than one obtained with putty or textured paints.

By controlling the reaction time, modelers can decide how deep the softening goes and therefore how strong the final texture will appear. The process merges chemical softening and manual shaping, producing a subtle “melted plastic” effect that brings an extra layer of depth and authenticity to any miniature or scale model project.

Valid for the following types of materials: Polystyrene PE, ABS, and uPVC.
