Over a week without the PCTutor was making me very grumpy so to see part 2 (at last ) was worth the extra wait. Well Cindy, now I know I am truly addicted, as was getting withdrawal symptons and even shouted at my little dog!!!!! How sad is that?? Loved the double speed shots of your hands building up the little logs, (well done Doug) and the finished cane is amazing. Think this is going to be one of my favourites (after the <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/pirate-cane-pt2-skull-cross-bones-polymer-clay-tutorial/14317/">pirate cane</a>) which is just the best...................

The reason the email address you tried to post did not show up, is because of privacy rules I have set for this blog. You will notice that emails don't show up in any of the posts or comments at this site. This is for everyone's protection and to keep the Spambots away. Spambots are little automated programs that run around the internet harvesting email addresses where ever they are posted. Whenever you publish your email address online, or anyone else’s for that matter, that contact information is guaranteed to be added to many, many different spam lists that will fill up your inbox with all those crap messages that no one wants to see. Everyone can actually do their part to help combat spam be simply not posting your email address anywhere on the internet, ever. And don't think you are fooling those little automated spambots by spelling out the word "at" instead of using the universal email @ symbol. The bots know better than to let a simple <em>trick</em> like that fool them. @<a href="#comment-46786">Arlene Schiek</a>: I published an article about email deliverability a while back (see link by my name), which has some information that may explain why you have not heard back from the Bullen's Wullens company.

I actually have the contact info...it is what I used when I phoned. I just never heard back from anyone. Therefore didn't even know how much the adaptor would cost...just that I wanted one lol.I have noted that there website has been "under construction' for some time now...maybe they didn't get my emails or hear my phone messages for some reason? I will try once more with bullens but first I think I'll give the broom handle a try. Lynn, Thank you for 1. your prompt reply and 2.noting the price of the adaptor.

Have yet to hear back from them. I was really intrigued when I saw the video clip of this adaptor in use... over a year ago. Still am interested though I'm more than a bit frustrated at this point. If anyone does have luck getting through to BW I would REALLY appreciate hearing how you were able to do that. Meantime I love the broom handle adaptor...will definitely try this. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR INGENUITY. I have sent email and phoned and left message for Pat at Bullens Wullens in an attempt to purchase one of the adaptors they developed for the makins extruder.

In Cindy's <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/polymer-clay-tutorial-mod-cane-clay-extruder/2383/">Mod Cane video</a>, different colors of clay circles are assembled into a log, and placed in the extruder. A cool length of clay comes out, which you can use to make a cane. If you notice in the video preview, the outside of the extruded lengths are blue. Here's why: when you load the clay into the barrel of the extruder, the color placed at the top, or next to the "die end," is the one that covers the outside of the extruded part (blue in this case.) To understand what is happening with you, it would help to know how you loaded the clay for your rainbow. How did you load the colors into the barrel of your extruder? Did you assemble little circles of color, a skinner-blended log, or what? Also, is it just one or several colors on the outside "encasing" the extruded length? To avoid having just one color on the outside of your "string", the clay at the tip (where the die goes/clay comes out) needs to be multi-colored. Or at least, the circles of different colors have to be very thin at the top. Well, I hope I helped a little. If not, leave another comment, as well as the answers to the questions (how you are loading your colors, how many outside colors on string.) Then, we can troubleshoot further.
