Here is an image of my first ‘semi-serious’ tests following Gerry’s vaseline nonstick method. The material is raw DAS and milliput yellow.

i have to say that i found the milliput to be super sticky to the point that it was sticking to the rollers even after ‘lubing’. The next thing for me to try is to actually follow singin’s advice and mix in plastercine, which should arrive tomorrow in the post. Currently the DAS is the preferable material and I’m yet to add PVA to it. I have got the pasta maker and tried putting the materials through the rollers on that, interesting results, DAS was not happy and the milliput was too sticky, did make it nice and thin but that had its own problem.

Both of the rolls are about 2mm thick which gives a 7mm high base. I found that if i went down to 1mm i risked punching right through the material.  So 7mm height is too much for me, i much prefer slimline bases.

The learning curve continues…
