Finishing polymer clay tubes:
Millefiori Tubes:

Make sure the ends are flush with the bushings as I DO NOT TRIM them!! You will need to sand them I would start with 800 or 1,000, (some start with 400 -600)with your lathe runnning fast micro mesh from 2400 - 12000 . Wipe down the tube. You can then apply your CA or whatever finish you use.

*Do not use a Barrel Trimmer


Polymer Clay Tubes that require turning:

Make sure the ends are flush with the bushings, as I DO NOT TRIM them!

Using a SHARP Carbide tool make light cuts, so as to not take too much off. The Polymer Clay peels off like butter in thin ribbons.

Should the metal tube come loose from the Polymer Clay tube use CA and push it back into the Polymer clay tube.  Finish the tube as suggested above.
