A properly designed cutter has sharp edges that leave no residue or only a minimal one. These are delicate tools and require proper care. If you choose low-quality cutters, your post-processing work (sanding and polishing) will be much greater, and in some cases, even after sanding, you may still end up with uneven and unprofessional edges.

Each model and brand may have slight differences.

Its behavior when passing through the machine may result in variations in actual thickness.<\/p>\n<p>For a precise measurement, we recommend using a caliper to measure a clay sheet after cutting, baking, and rolling it through each setting. We have tested this ourselves using the Ampiamotor model from Marcato, obtaining real results that can be used as a reference. Keep in mind that clay slightly shrinks when baked due to moisture loss.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, embossing cutters compress and shift the clay, which may create areas with increased thickness.

If you need to add details, colors, or correct parts after the first bake, you can bake the piece again.

Another way to protect them is to brush them with a little cornstarch to prevent other particles from sticking to them and then cover them. Before baking you can remove the excess.  You can also place aluminum foil trays that you can then take to the oven, as they will help the temperature to be evenly distributed.<br \/>\nSi necesitas cocer tus piezas en otro momento, c\u00fabrelas con film de cocina o gu\u00e1rdalas en un recipiente en donde la pelusa no entre en contacto con la superficie.

Make sure not to under or over expose it to the oven. A polymer clay can be baked for up to 45 minutes without burning, increasing the flexibility of the piece, as long as the temperature is within the range suggested by the retailer.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you are working with a good quality clay.

However some intricate designs require tricks to facilitate optimal printing and cutting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Corn or rice flour: Sprinkle a small amount of corn or rice flour over the clay dough and along the edges of the cutter before using it. This reduces friction and prevents the cutter from sticking to the surface of the clay.<\/li>\n<li>Even pressure roller: Use a roller of adequate thickness to ensure even pressure on the cutter. By applying even pressure, it prevents the cutter from binding and results in cleaner, more precise cuts.<\/li>\n<li>3-stage cut: Performs the cut in three stages. First, score the outline of the cutter on the dough without pressing too hard. Then, apply moderate pressure to stamp the cutter details. Finally, completely cut through the piece using firm pressure. This method helps prevent cutter sticking and allows details to show up properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-9145\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_1-9145\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordian-1\" data-target=\"#collapse-1-9145\" href=\"#collapse-1-9145\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">What precautions should I take when using polymer clay cutters?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-1-9145\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_1-9145\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p>Do not expose them to heat, direct sunlight or wash them in the dishwasher, since the polymer does not withstand high temperatures.
