Is there any problems with the clay sticking to the roller ? If yes, how do you solve the problem ? I have NOT yet used the polymer clay or roller .

i do not have any problems with the clay sticking to mine...at some point there will be a bit of clay that gets stuck behind the roller...but is pretty easy to get out with some q tips and alcohol

It doesn't stick too much. You can always put a little flower on the roller to keep the clay from sticking.

Clay might get stuck in it if the polymer clay is too stiff or soft or if you turn the hand crank in reverse. If it's too stiff it will crumble durring rolling.really by soft I mean clay that tends to be too soft to work with; As to how to remove the stuck clay use scrap clay to gather most of the material then roll a rag through(I use old scraps or a soft tee-shirt). But I'd still recommend getting it it makes reconditioning old clay much easier not to mention Skinner Blends are just about impossible without one.

Generally, the clay does not stick to the roller, but may leave a residue behind on the roller. So if you are rolling a dark color and then a light color, you will want to clean the roller between the two colors. This can be done with scrap clay.

I took my first roll of this tape back to the store with the same problem. The saleswoman showed me that I simply hadn't unrolled it far enough . . . the beginning of the roll of the tape is different from the rest of the roll. They can't display it in stores with the double-stick portion exposed. Try unrolling it farther; that might solve your problem.

I'm having trouble with the sand paper as well. whether it is an old or new sheet of sand paper, it just refuses to stay on... Anyone have some suggestions?

I unrolled mine and let it sit flat for a while. I roll it with working surface side out. It seems that with use it seems to stay very flat for me. Others have said to slightly dampen the surface under it so it doesn't slip and stays flatter? hope this helps)

In the past, the problem turned out to be a label got stuck on the roller preventing it from printing correctly. Check and make sure it is clear. Hope this helps.

Dear Jenrie, I don't do wheel work, just sculpture. However, I've worked with water-based clay a lot in the past and with this paper clay the adhesion to itself is different. I'd experiment with one package, a small project, and be prepared to keep it moist with a water sprayer because it dries very fast.

Hi there. I have never personally had the brush roller stop turning, however, if you have a lot of girls in your family, you may want to make sure there isn't a lot of hair wrapped around the roller. I have to get my scissors out every couple of months. You may want to make sure the switch on the handle that changes it from air to roller brush is making contact. If all else fails, this vacuum has a 2 year warranty. I googled the problem and this is the reply I saw.*Brush roll not working after a few months because wires (that supply power to the it) located in the pivot (or joint where the base and body meet) of the vacuum either got severed or insulation scrapped off because of the constant rubbing of the wire and plastic.* The customer service number for Hoover is 1-800-944-9200. I hope one of these solutions will help. Good luck to you.

There are rubber rollers that grab/push the paper, sometimes they get sticky from residue buildup, you can rub them down with a Q-tip dipped in a little alcohol. But I am not sure if this your problem. Is there something blocking the paper catch, could it have a residue build up around the hookup area?

Have you cleaned everything from the roller? Sometimes debris can get stuck in the corners. Mine did this once and worked fine after I cleaned it out. You can detach the roller and check for anything that is stopping it up. Hope this helps.

Hi Mary, I've only used mine a couple of weeks so I'm not sure, but the roller still seems brand new. I just blow it off and clean with the brush they send and I foresee it lasting several months at the least.

Sculpey Polymer Clay has no adhesive quality. But try it on a small piece of stone and see how it responds. I think you will be happy with the results. Just be gentle while handling it and make sure you have a thick enough piece that you are not tearing it while it is in use. Gary

I've not had problems with black streaks on the Marcato. Not like I did with the cheaper Sculpey machine. When they are new, most of these pasta machines have an excess grease that tends to stick around the rollers. What I did with the Marcato was take a baby wipe and with moving rollers, gently wipe all over especially around where the rollers insert. Then I wiped with a bit of water in a paper towel,, then used a old cloth to gently dry the rollers while they're turning. This may work and if not, do the cleaning again. If that still doesn't work - you may want to contact seller.

I haven't had this problem with this particular item. However, while using a different sander I did repeatedly experience the sandpaper not sticking. What I discovered is that the saw dust gets between the sandpaper and the base that the sandpaper adheres to. I found that hooking the sander up to my shop vac helped to reduce or alleviate this problem, but that isn't possible with this tool so my only recommendation is to vac the base off before attaching a new sanding paper. Make sure that you are using the hook & loop sanding papers. I found them at MultiFitBlades.com.

I used a weed killer sprayer and paint brush, so no experience with a roller. I'm speculating that a roller would work, the waterproofing penetrates easily. Good luck!

My wife says that it may be the rollers that bring paper into the system ... if she has problems her first action is to clean these rollers with alcohol and q-tips .... hope something that simple can work for you.

Make sure you have your handle in tight. I thought both rollers moved. MAKE SURE YOU USE ENOUGH FLOUR TO KEEP FROM STICKING.

I would guess the roller spacing is too tight for that. The primary roller is 0.06" fixed.
