* A Polymer Clay Tool invented by Karen Troise for slicing polymer clay canes.\r
\r
* Karen sells them at KTWearableArt on Etsy and eBay.\r
\r
* She designed the tool to make it easier to slice polymer clay canes at any thickness that you require.. very thin or super thick.\r
\r
* This extruder tool is made up of an acrylic tube and a corresponding acrylic plunger rod.\r
\r
* The tool comes in 5 sizes.. 3 round and 2 square.\r
\r
* The round sizes are: Small (3/8th inch) for $9.99; Medium (1/2 inch) for $13.99; Large (3/4 inch) for $14.99.\r
\r
* The square sizes are: Small (5/8 inch) for $13.99; Large (7/8 inch) $14.99.\r
\r
* To use, first spritz some water inside the tube. \r
\r
* Then reduce your cane by hand so that it easily slides into the tube.\r
\r
* Use the rod to tamp down the cane inside of the tube, in order to compress and expand the cane inside of the tube, with no air pockets.\r

\r
* I also lets you slice canes right down to the very end, with very little waste, some thing that is often difficult to do by hand.\r
\r
* I give some neat little tips on using extruder disks and acrylic pieces to compress the canes more evenly.\r

\r
* Make sure to remove your cane pieces from the tool after you have cut what ever slices you need, so that the clay does not get stuck inside.\r
\r
* For storage, be sure to clean your polymer clay extruder tool inside and out with a baby wipe\r
