has anyone used this to roll clay?

Not me. I would think your biggest problem is going to be in keeping the clay from sticking to the rollers. I use lots of flour to keep my dough moving through freely. If you can keep the clay from sticking, I don't see why you couldn't use it to roll clay. It's pretty sturdy.

I personally have not but I can't see why it should not work. Maybe clean up would be a hassle.

I used the roller on fondant and was very disappointed. It pulls one side of the fondant and leaves ripples. The other side is smooth. I wish I had returned it.

Pretty thin, but mine literally fell apart after 6 small batches of pasta, which is a similar consistency to polymer clay, so I say "buyer beware", but maybe my model was a fluke. The internal components broke and the rollers would no longer adjust and locked in a loose non parallel line. If you plan to use it repeatedly, paying for the $60-$70 models is my bet. Hope this helps! Kris.

Never thought of doing that...but why not! Just Don't roll it too thin. Will have to try that myself!

I honestly wouldn't recommend trying something like this because the thing was designed as a grain mill and the clean up would be a royal pain. It *might* work once or twice but after that, seeing as it is a grinding *stone*, it is highly unlikely the mill would be good for anything after that.

I've used mine only for baking. I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for rolling or not.

Have not tried it in heavy clay soil. Works well in sandy and light soil though.

have not had it long enough to know. Ground needs to be soft. I cannot see how it would work well in clay as the clay would stick to the weed holders.

I found that if you are not careful when using it, reused clay may have particulates but only the ones you have introduced yourself...other wise it is very smooth...you can even get a decent polish on the surface.

I have not. The basket is very deep and I have a spine problem. I could not lean down far enough.. However, I see no reason it would not work. It is very easy to use and fold open/close It rolls very easily on any surface, gravel, pavement, grass... etc. Good Luck! We are very pleased with it.

Don't know if clay would stick but bread dough certainly did. The surface of the mat was smooth.

Have not used it for that. I have used it for other crusts, many breads and biscuits, brioche, etc. Haven't had a problem with anything yet. Gone through over 60 pounds in a few months.

I use this just for polymer clay. It works great, and it will help protect wooden work surfaces. The grid is great for measuring and cutting with a tissue blade. The clay will discolor the mat a bit over time. I have not tried baking clay while it is on the mat.

I have used it to GENTLY file down a corn, worked well, I was very careful not to let it go too fast

I have used it in soft sand and it rolls fine. The only thing you must do is pull it behind you rather than push it.

I know a lot since even though it was bought for clay, the physics class used it for doing experiments with the students literally standing on it. I hope that helps

It doesn't stick too much. You can always put a little flower on the roller to keep the clay from sticking.
