Sculpey Tools™ Clay Conditioning Machine

What Is a Polymer Clay Conditioning Machine?

A polymer clay conditioning machine allows you to transform your clay into a workable texture. Because polymer clay is sold in bricks and blocks, it should be flattened, rolled and transformed to yield a smooth, pliable and supple material. 

The Sculpey Tools™ Clay Conditioning Machine works with oven-bake clay. It is perfect for mixing colors, conditioning clay and creating invariable flat sheets of clay in nine different thicknesses. Designed with no plating on the rollers, this polymer clay conditioning machine offers smoother rolling of all your materials.

The machine comes with:

• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel rollers.
• A C-clamp.
• Nonskid feet

How Do You Condition Clay and Why Is It Important? 

It is important to condition all polymer clay before you work with it to ensure the consistency of the clay will be ready to start creating! 

Conditioning polymer clay includes working the clay until it is soft and pliable and has the same consistency throughout. 

Why use a polymer clay conditioning machine instead of conditioning by hand? When you condition clay with the help of a machine, you can combine ingredients evenly and remove trapped air.

How Do You Clean a Sculpey Tools™ Clay Conditioning Machine?

As polymer clay goes through the machine's rollers, it can get stuck against the blades underneath. Over time, a layer of this stuck clay can build up on the machine's blades.

Always clean your machine before starting a project and avoid putting any clay with inclusions through the Sculpey Tools™ Clay Conditioning Machine. Inclusions such as glitter may get trapped in the machine or even scratch your rollers. It's best to use playing cards and an acrylic roller or acrylic spacers instead.

To clean your polymer clay conditioning machine:

• Turn the Sculpey Tools™ Clay Conditioning Machine upside down.
• Use a wooden skewer or toothpick to carefully remove clay buildup from the machine's two bottom sides where the blades and rollers meet. Always be gentle with the blades and refrain from using metal, as it will scratch the rollers.
• Use a wet wipe to make sure you've removed all residue from the blades.
• Turn the Sculpey Tools™ Clay Conditioning Machine the right way up. Use a wet wipe to clean the rollers while simultaneously turning the machine's handle.
• Wipe the outside of the machine and tray regularly to keep your clay conditioning machine in top shape.
