I cut the bag breakfast cereal comes packaged in inside the box and use it for this very purpose. So far it works beautifully. I love repurposing stuff I would have tossed away otherwise.

Cereal bags!!! Who knew?! I tried wax paper, cut up Ziploc bags, stencil plastic, and even regular copy paper... Nothing worked except... Cereal bags!!! Wow! That's great! Thank you!

This is brilliant advice. I just got an $80 Atlas 150 machine and was devastated to find it doing this to my clay sheets at the thinner settings. Glad to know that it's not just me, and also glad for the tip! Thanks for all of your wonderful content!

Your tutorials are so amazing and detailed. I love watching them. As far as plastic sheets you can purchase quilting template sheeting in most sewing and craft stores that will do the same thing. You just might have to cut them down to fit the pasta machine width but they work like a charm!

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I just got my pasta machine, and everything was rippled. I thought it was defective, but then I remembered in a previous video of yours that certain types of clay become harder to work with the warmer they become. I can't wait to try to plastic sheets technique, I think that will make everything, as well as cooler clay, much better. Thank you again for sharing your tips! :)

In the past 2 months I've watched a TON of polymer clay videos (yours included), and this is the first mention I've heard of rippling. Do you personally always roll between some protector sheets? I've seen so many demos of Skinner blends simply popped into the machine. Glad to learn something that will prevent frustration as I embark on this new project. Your vids are wonderful btw. Love your creations.

@JessamaTutorials 5 жыл бұрын

I don't always roll with the sheets. Only if it's a veneer that I need to thin out. I've also found that starting on your thickest setting on your pasta machine and then jumping straight to your thinnest setting helps prevent ripples for some reason. That's what I tend to do now.

@barockeuse 5 жыл бұрын

Hello Jessama, when you reach a very thin clay, couldn't you use some water spayed on your clay ? This could perhaps make it easier to remove the clay from the plastic, instead of being obliged to take it off by sawing with your blade ?? Not forgetting to dry the sheet of clay at the end of the process.

@JessamaTutorials 5 жыл бұрын

I have tried that, but it makes the clay slip from the plastic as it's going through the pasta machine and some brands of clay don't do well when coming into contact with water.

It looks like regular acetate film. You can buy rolls of it at art stores. It is to use as overlay drawing material for trial lines, or to protect pastels and pencil works.

So I got the Teflon sheets that were recommended but my pasta machine won’t roll on through not even on the tightest I just slip right on by so I must’ve not got the right kind. Is there a type of Teflon on Amazon that has a sticky side and a slick side LOL because my Teflon is definitely not working

@JessamaTutorials 5 жыл бұрын

Have you tried ot pull the sheet from underneath the pasta machine?

@CamdenSmithNaples 5 жыл бұрын

Yes. It is just too slick. The rollers roll right past it. It just does not work and I bought an actual pasta machine after your tutorial a few weeks ago. The Teflon I have looks more like cooking Teflon and is brown. I think there are various types but that is all I saw on amazon.

@marystoddard9138 4 жыл бұрын

Why do some machines cause this and others don’t? What causes it?

@JessamaTutorials 4 жыл бұрын

Often times it's because the pasta machines gears are out of alignment. Cheap pasta machine tend to already have this before you receive them while more quality pasta machines tend to get it after being used a little while.
