Sanding update
September 19, 2008 |
No matter what anyone tells you, sanding polymer clay isn’t about quick and easy. It’s been a week long process for me, but it hasn’t been so hard I didn’t want to do it. As a matter of fact, having finally broken down and bought a tumbler last week, sanding has gotten a whole lot easier lately. On top of that, I’ve been wanting to clay more, now that the thought of having to hand sand everything is gone. Just thinking that it would need to be sanded by hand made me not want to play.
I just wish I had gotten the 3 barrel Lortone now, LOL !! I’d be almost done with the backlog of beads I have. I don’t mind waiting for them to do their thing though, I have time to actually think about making more to sand 
When, not if, but when, I decide to upgrade to another tumbler, possibly a 3 barrel, I think I’ll keep the one barrel I have just to tumble buff beads. Well, shoot, I just thought about wanting to dabble with the metal clay, I suppose I’d need one just for metal then. Oh boy, wait until my hubby hear’s that idea!
I’m still chugging away on putting together a tutorial of sorts on how I’ve done my tumble sanding. Everyone has their own way of doing things and this is no different.
See ya’ll later.

I’m new to your blog and somewhat new to polymer clay sculpting. Other than a tumbler for beads, what would you normally use for sanding? I have a Dremel tool, would that be okay to use? Thanks!
