These polar bear extruder disc comes in (2) 57mm and (4) 23mm or 24mm size discs. You get the whole family: dad, mom, and four cubs. Skill Level: Beginner/Intermediate If you're new to soap extruders check out this video on how to use a soap (clay) extruder with soap dough. There are two different size extruders. The Makin brand which holds the 18mm size disc and the Fimo brand which works with the 23mm size discs. There are other/knock off brands to Makin. Note: I've tried a number and most work pretty well, though they sometimes have some minor issues. If you wanted to try one of them instead of Makin they should work just as well. For best results use a soap dough that is not overly stick or hard. You want a soft and malleable soap dough so that it easily extrudes through the soap extruder.
