Video #662: It's encouraging to see that the Polyform Sculpey brand is making improvements to its clay conditioning machine... More Info: www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/?... Polymer Clay Tutor.
Topics Covered In This Video:
* Unboxing the new Sculpey Clay Conditioning Machine with Stainless Steel Rollers.
* I have an Atlas Wellness Pasta Machine that I very much love using... I did the Unboxing of my Atlas a while ago.
* One of the things that I love about my Atlas is that it doesn't leave black streaks on my polymer clay because it has the anodized aluminum rollers.
* So when I heard that the Sculpey machine now had stainless steel rollers, I just had to test that for you.
* One of the nice things about the Sculpey machines is that they are available in a lot of places like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and other craft stores as well as online, and they are relatively inexpensive.
* My Atlas machine was in the $100 range and the Sculpey Machine is in the $40 range.
* I go through the features to see what is different from the old models, as well as demo it to see how well it works.
* In addition to the new stainless rollers, there seems to be some sort of plastic or something filling the gaps between the rollers and the machine sides.
* Also the scraper blades appear to be made of nylon or something similar.
* The handle seems to fit better and the machine seems to move smoother.
* There are nine settings with the #1 setting being the thickest, and the #9 being the thinnest.
* The clay goes through quite smoothly with only faint lines at the thickest setting, and a little rippling at the thinnest setting. This is pretty typical of most machines with a lot of settings.
* The machine appears to be more sturdy and of higher quality than the previous models.
* I will use this machine for a while to see how it stands up... and to see whether the stainless steel rollers keep those nasty black streaks away.
* If this machine does well after being put through it's paces, it may be a great option for a lot of people, since it will be much more affordable than the high end machines. And it is available in a lot more locations.
* I am hoping that this machine is an improvement over the previous models. Stay tuned :-)
