Royal & Langnickel RD25 large ball-tip modelling stylus

Add rounded accents, rows of dots and larger impressions to your clay work with the Royal & Langnickel RD25. Its single ball tip presses a rounded form into the surface, while the wooden handle lets you position it where needed. A useful addition for creating round details without a sharp cutting point.

Contents

One RD25 stylus with a wooden handle and one metal ball tip. Clay, a work surface and other modelling tools are not included.

Choose your details

The RD25 is intended for larger impressions and dots. Choose a finer stylus for very small dots or fine line work. Use this tool to press into workable clay, not to drill holes in hardened or fired clay.

Making dots and patterns

Support your piece and try the tip on a scrap of the same clay first. Press the ball tip gently into the surface and lift it straight out again. Start with light pressure and check the depth before repeating a pattern. Keep spacing and pressure as consistent as possible for a regular row of dots, or vary depth and spacing for a freer pattern. Remove clay from the ball tip when the impression becomes less distinct.

Care

Wipe the metal tip clean and dry after use. If needed, clean the wooden handle with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry before storing. Avoid prolonged soaking of the handle.
