If it sticks, dip the cutter in cornstarch or baby powder. This is especially recommended for more complex shapes to ensure a proper cut.

The cutters have been tested with Cernit and Fimo clays, so we can ensure the correct functioning of these materials, but you have to be careful that the clay is not too soft, as this can make it difficult to cut. The cutters are functional and can be used with other materials, but we cannot guarantee they will work 100%.

After pressing the shape into the clay, I moved it slightly left and right until I felt that the clay was completely cut out. It's also important that the clay adheres to some level of the surface it's applied to, so it's easier to lift the shape after cutting. Some cutters, especially smaller ones, require more patience and experience in this area, as the clay can stick or break.

We tested with a 3 mm thick slab.

PLA (polylactide) is a durable, biodegradable thermoplastic commonly used for 3D printing. PLA material is usually made from corn starch or sugar, allowing it to use raw materials from natural sources. PLA material can print well and is easy to shape, so it is also suitable for 3D printing and sculpting. PLA material has a higher boiling point than ABS material, so it is not suitable for making heat-resistant products. PLA material is widely used in 3D printing because it is environmentally friendly and readily available and therefore suitable for prototyping, model building and small series production.

1. Push it into the clay
2. Move it slightly left and right until you feel you have completely cut the clay.
3. Lift up the cutter.

Polymer clay can stick to smaller cutters, but cutting on a ceramic surface (tiles, tiles, glass) usually prevents this.

Attention! Using some shapes requires more experience!
