Hi All

Would like to buy a clay gun, but would love a recommendation. Any suggestions.

Thanks
Clair

Makins - the green one with lots of attachments.

I bought the one that Jennifer Dontz uses and I LOVE it, it's like 60.00 it's a large glay gun used for ceramic clay and has different sizes of discs that you can order for it. It's a beast though but holds lots of fondant clay for ribbon borders.

so where do I get one onf these monsters? ... and excuse my ignornace, but who is Jennifer Dontz?

For routine items, I use the light green metal "T" twist Makins Ultimate Extruder. It holds a nice amount of material, comes with lots of disks, and you can buy more disks.

The large extruder can be found online by googling clay extruder. The barrel is over a foot long and about 2 inches across. It's good for very large amounts of extruded material.

I think this is where I got mine it's the gold gun the big one.

Hope this helps you I'm off to bed for tonight. Happy Hunting!!!!

Thanks - sounds like another reason to vist the in-laws in Michigan

I just bought the Makins Ultimate as well...the green one that twists. It comes with alot of discs and is very easy to use! I love it!

So if I was wanting to make a medium width rope... what sort of length do you think I would get out of the Makins?

I have the green Makins one with a T handle (about $25 at Hobby Lobby), but I don't really like it. I want one that I can use one hand to squeeze instead of two hands to twist like the green Makins.
