Why is the clay sticking in my texture sheet and how do i clean it out?
Why is the clay sticking in my texture sheet and how do i clean it out?
If your clay is sticking to the texture sheet, it might be because you're using clay that's too soft for the fine details. These texture sheets work best with firm, less sticky clay. To resolve this issue:
- Consider leaching your clay by placing it between two pieces of blank printer paper. This helps remove excess moisture and can make the clay less sticky.
- If clay is stuck in the texture sheet, lightly spritz the affected area with rubbing alcohol. This will dissolve the clay without damaging the texture sheet.
- After the clay has softened, use a soft brush or a pin tool to gently remove the clay from the texture sheet. Be cautious not to damage the fine details.
Note: Do not soak the rubber texture sheet in alcohol, as this may dry it out and affect its performance.

To achieve a more even transfer, consider using depth guides on both sides of your clay. This technique allows you to apply consistent pressure without over-flattening the clay. By using depth guides, you can ensure a more uniform and precise pattern transfer onto your clay project.
