To use it you start with clay as fresh as possible (or extremely carefully reconstituted), as if the clay has started to dry, you might get cracks and end up with a broken snake\/coil.\u003cbr\u003e2. Use your fingers to quickly squeeze and shape your metal clay into a basic log shape. Make sure your fingers are coated with a little olive oil or badger balm to stop them from drying out the clay, and work quickly. You can keep the clay in a little cling film to stop it from drying out, but this part should not take more than about 5 seconds.\u003cbr\u003e3. Now roll it a couple of times on your work surface with your fingers to round it off. Then, as soon as you got the snake started, switch to the snake maker.\u003cbr\u003e4. Hold the snake maker by the curved up edges, and roll back and forth over the clay.\u003cbr\u003e5. One rolled out, I brush my snake with water, and let it sit until the surface is \"touchably\" dry again before I use it, This helps to remove any minute cracks that otherwise can appear on the surface, and will also soften up the clay again so it is nice and ready for you to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"f135-120x120.jpg\" height=\"120\" src=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/f135-120x120.jpg\" title=\"f135-120x120.jpg\" width=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASUREMENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx 12.5cm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you \u003cstrong\u003epress too hard\u003c\/strong\u003e you will feel that your snake is becoming oval and then square, and eventually you can't roll it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you \u003cstrong\u003edon't apply enough pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e, your snake will not get thinner or longer quickly enough, and it will start drying out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure you hold the snake maker straight - perpendicular with your work surface, so you get nice even snakes - or lean it to one side to create a tapered snake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse quite long strokes, if you're just rolling back and forth in the same position you won't get very far!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs your snake gets longer, ensure that the ends of it are sticking out either side of the snake maker \u003cstrong\u003eONLY\u003c\/strong\u003e where the edges are curved up.

It is considered a cushioned abrasive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConventional sandpaper is designed to be aggressive so that it will dig deeply. In its manufacture the crystals are electrically charged so that they will stand up. They are locked into a hard resin and when you apply the paper to a surface it will literally tear in and remove the substrate of the material you are sanding. The crystals cut in a negative raking motion, leaving inconsistent scratch patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicro-Mesh™ does the opposite. The backing is long lasting cloth to which an ultra-flexible cushioning layer is applied. This cushioning layer will determine how far forward you can push crystals before they will penetrate the cushioning layer. On top of this layer, we have a very resilient glue, not a hard resin, but a completely flexible glue that will hold the crystals while allowing it to move and rotate. The crystals can turn in any direction without coming loose. When you start to apply pressure to sand with Micro-Mesh™, the crystals will go into the cushioning layer while beginning to cut a bit. If you push harder, they will go further into the cushioning layer, which serves as a safety valve. It determines how much pressure you can exert in a downward direction. Instead of a deep scratch that sandpaper makes, Micro-Mesh™ produce a refined scratch that is close to a RMS of 1.0. The cushioning layer also allows the crystals to cut with a planing motion that leaves an extremely consistent scratch pattern and allows you to achieve extraordinary levels of gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhere conventional abrasives will take surfaces down 2 or 3 thousandths (.002 or .003), Micro-Mesh™ will take it down one ten thousandth (.0001) or less.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Micro Mesh","offers":[{"title":"Mini","offer_id":58320678781263,"sku":"240-FF-4WAY-MINI","price":1.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Regular","offer_id":58320678814031,"sku":"240-FF-4WAY-REG","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":58320678846799,"sku":"240-FF-4WAY-LAR","price":2.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/2591\/2911\/files\/FlexiFile_4_WAY_FILE_WITH_SIZES__92061.1654088510.800.800.png?v=1785147411"},{"product_id":"acrylic-roller-rolling-pin-for-clay-economy","title":"Acrylic Roller - Rolling Pin for Clay - Economy","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ProductDescriptionContainer\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic Roller, our economy rolling pin for soft clay.

In its manufacture the crystals are electrically charged so that they will stand up. They are locked into a hard resin and when you apply the paper to a surface it will literally tear in and remove the substrate of the material you are sanding. The crystals cut in a negative raking motion, leaving inconsistent scratch patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicro-Mesh™ does the opposite. The backing is long lasting cloth to which an ultra-flexible cushioning layer is applied. This cushioning layer will determine how far forward you can push crystals before they will penetrate the cushioning layer. On top of this layer, we have a very resilient glue, not a hard resin, but a completely flexible glue that will hold the crystals while allowing it to move and rotate.

The backing is long lasting cloth to which an ultra-flexible cushioning layer is applied. This cushioning layer will determine how far forward you can push crystals before they will penetrate the cushioning layer. On top of this layer, we have a very resilient glue, not a hard resin, but a completely flexible glue that will hold the crystals while allowing it to move and rotate. The crystals can turn in any direction without coming loose. When you start to apply pressure to sand with Micro-Mesh™, the crystals will go into the cushioning layer while beginning to cut a bit. If you push harder, they will go further into the cushioning layer, which serves as a safety valve. It determines how much pressure you can exert in a downward direction. Instead of a deep scratch that sandpaper makes, Micro-Mesh™ produce a refined scratch that is close to a RMS of 1.0. The cushioning layer also allows the crystals to cut with a planing motion that leaves an extremely consistent scratch pattern and allows you to achieve extraordinary levels of gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhere conventional abrasives will take surfaces down 2 or 3 thousandths (.002 or .003), Micro-Mesh™ will take it down one ten thousandth (.0001) or less.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are Micro Mesh Regular grits? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicro-Mesh™ Regular Grits are slightly different to the FEPA grits.
