\"Czextruder<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been using the\u00a0Czextruder from Lucy Clay for several months now and promised to give a quick review. I’ve been making a few different canes with a couple of the disk and really enjoy using this quirky little canes in my cane mapping. So I thought I’d combine the review with a short tutorial.<\/p>\n

You can see this cane used on the wispy ends of the tail on this fish and across the middle.<\/p>\n

\"Polymer<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’ll notice, I don’t care if the curvy parts are lined up perfectly, actually, I want the cane to go this way and that, more organic.<\/p>\n

\"Fish<\/a><\/p>\n

I find the extruder to be very well constructed and it as a large loading tube which I like. It holds more clay than other extruders I’ve used. It’s easy to clean.<\/p>\n

The part I find difficult is the loading. The plug is not attached to the plunger and that makes it harder to reinsert, but worth it in the end.<\/p>\n

I like that the disks from other extruders and disk makers will fit this extruder. I believe Cynthia Tinapple’s<\/a> disks fit as well.<\/p>\n

Over all I find it an asset to my polymer clay tool box.<\/p>\n
