Some techniques, tips and tips to work in tin:
The first step is to transfer the design to the aluminum foil. blade over the number 002 is used because it is easy to work with any tool.
simple profiling is to highlight the limits of design, this is done behind the plate and supported on microporous eva rubber sheet or fabric, and turns on a hard surface is delineated only the outside .
profiling working double like the simple but delineates the interior form of a rope.
planing to stump serves to highlight the embossed image. Is done by the reverse of the sheet -
Aluminum roller smooths always to start working on it. -
Aluminum has no right or vice versa, is mostly on the side where one is better physical characteristics than the other (like a mirror.) -
To paste without problems on hard surfaces or non-porous silicon is placed in that area first and then attach to the surface that is more difficult to adhere. -
the tools to easily slide After tracing the design, spread petroleum jelly on both sides of the sheet. -
To ensure that the drawing is going well with the film, skip the tips of the fingers on the right groove and feel slightly swollen. -
- Following these simple tips, I put a little work basics that I hope will encourage them to start with this technique:

Materials:
tools and basic materials for the spinning process:
- a sheet of tin or aluminum.
- tracing paper, pencil, eraser and tape.
- a hard surface, which may be a durabor table or just the table where we work with daily.
- a shirt, "ballerina" or gomaeva plate.
- a pen with rounded (if no ink is better).
- a medium-thick stump. This tool is a compact paper in pencil and terminating at both ends in a point.
- chisel marble.
Materials for assembly and finishing process:
- contact cement and thinner.
- patinas: Ink black shoes, china ink or silver.
- Brasso polishes if you want a glossy, thin aluminum or sponge if you want a dull finish.
- cotton rags.
- cutting instruments, curved nail scissors, shears, punch cutting, utility knife.
filling materials:
- plastic fillings or
- polyester resin and catalyst.
- Emboss plane - Footsteps
1. Choose the piece.
2. Make a template of the piece of tracing paper. Design drawing or trace on this template, leaving at least half a centimeter of margin between the design and the edge, because the metal can be stretched and would outline design.
3. Mark the outline of the piece on the metal blade and cut the metal, leaving at least an inch of edges. This will then simplify the gluing and assembly.
4. Set the drawing on the metal plate with adhesive tape and transfer it onto a hard surface with little pressure. If you use aluminum, it is irrelevant which side to score, but not so with the tin. In case of using tin, we do the right side. (The tin has two sides and the design must be marked on the right side which is more yellow).
5. Now, remove the layer and place under the flannel sheet metal or ballerina. Redial the drawing in parts and this time apply pressure to start taking the design volume. Areas it is essential for girls and that if we do everything together we will warp the metal.
6. Remove the cloth, turn the design, and now, on a hard, first passed the stump pushing between the lines and then we outline the design lightly on both sides to fine tune internal and closing as required by drawing lines.
7. Turn and on the same hard surface, "Iron" the stump around the embossed area
8. Repeat steps 5, 6 and 7 to complete the job.
9. Fill embossed areas with fillings or mixture of polyester resin and catalyst. (For a refresher cap resin used ca. 5 or 6 drops of catalyst. I recommend staining the dye mixture as this is easier to view it).
10. Textured cross-hatched funds, or close together or spiral steel brush.
11. Glue and assemble the piece.
12. Skating with ink to black leather. Once dry, rub with a cotton cloth to remove almost completely. The aim is that the ink is deposited only at the edges, giving a visual effect of depth.
Work completed: The embossing was used to coat a 16cm box. x 16cm. that can be used to store different things, or put a grid inside and use it for tea sachets, or just for decoration! Tips
Keep all cuts that have a considerable size, since then the corner can be used to make boxes or fittings. Allocate pinceletas old to pass the contact cement and spend the ink for leather that will be provided for that use. The cement pinceleta be cleaned with toluene, the ink for leather, with alcohol.
