What it is used for
The Series SB modelling tools are aimed at professionals and advanced hobbyists who work regularly with modelling materials. They are ideal for any process that requires precise control over shape and surface finish.
- Figurative sculpture in clay and wax
- Definition and refinement of fine details in scale models and prototypes
- Modelling of special effects and prosthetics in industrial clay
- Smoothing and texturing surfaces before mould making
- Restoration and sculptural reproduction work
- Modelling originals for moulds for sculpture collections
How to use it
- Select the Series SB tool with the appropriate tip profile for the operation you are going to carry out (smoothing, marking, negative sculpting, etc.).
- Prepare the modelling material — clay, wax or putty — to the appropriate working consistency, warming it slightly if necessary to improve its plasticity.
- Apply the tool to the surface with controlled pressure. For smoothing, use long continuous strokes; for defining details, work with the tip in short, precise movements.
- Clean the tool regularly with a dry or slightly dampened cloth to prevent accumulated material from contaminating other areas of the model.
- Alternate between different tools in the series as you progress from general shapes to finer details.
- Once the original is finished, the model is ready to proceed to moulding with silicone or another mould material.
Tips for use
Material temperature
Many modelling clays and waxes notably improve their plasticity with a little heat. Warming the material with your hands or a gentle heat source before working makes the tools easier to use and reduces the effort needed to define details. Avoid overheating: clay that is too soft loses its shape when worked.
Tool maintenance
Clean the tools after each working session. Dried material stuck to the tips can scratch polished surfaces or contaminate different colour mixes in polymer clays. For a deeper clean, use a mild solvent suitable for the material you have been working with.
Combine series for greater versatility
The Tiranti Series SB has specific profiles that differentiate it from other series of the same brand. For a complete working set, combine it with the Series SK tools and the Series SC tools, which offer complementary geometries for different sculpting and finishing tasks.
Frequently asked questions
What modelling materials are these tools suitable for?
The Tiranti Series SB modelling tools are designed to work with professional clay, sculptor's wax, modelling putties and polymer clays. They are general-purpose tools for sculpture and modelling, compatible with any material that offers sufficient plasticity to be worked by hand.
How many tools does the product include?
The price corresponds to one unit. You can purchase different Series SB tools individually to build your own set tailored to your working needs.
What is the difference between the different Tiranti tool series?
Can they be used with oven-cure polymer clay?
Yes. Tiranti's metal or hardwood modelling tools are perfectly compatible with oven-cure polymer clays. Simply clean them before placing the piece in the oven, as the tool does not go through the curing process.
How should these tools be cleaned properly?
For most clays and waxes, cleaning the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use is sufficient. For more stubborn residue, use a mild solvent compatible with the material worked. Dry the tool thoroughly before storing to prevent oxidation on the metal tips.
Are they suitable for special effects and prosthetics modelling?
Yes. In the field of special effects and makeup prosthetics, modelling tools are essential for working the original in clay or wax before proceeding to mould making. The Tiranti Series SB is a standard reference in professional studios in this sector.
Where can I get advice if I don't know which model to choose?
You can contact the Feroca technical team by writing to [email protected] or calling 914 481 271. They will guide you on which series and model best suits your working process.
