Do you wish you had three hands, one to feed your polymer clay into the pasta machine to keep it from sticking to the rail while the other two are busy cranking the machine and catching the clay as it feeds out the bottom. Well maybe this little trick will help you a bit. I just wish I remembered where I learned it.
Apply a strip of 2″ painters tape or masking tape to the back rail cover. Keeping it on the cover and as close to the roller as possible
smooth it on and over the bend of the rail cover to the back
Trim to fit.

This will help when you let go of the clay with your feeding hand and let the polymer clay slide easily over the rail and into the pasta machine without sticking and stretching out your clay. Now you can use that hand to catch.
Wa-la it’s almost as good as having a third hand.
that was easy
Happy Claying,
