Truck w/ Pumpkin Extruder Disc
This truck comes with one 57mm disc, six 18mm or 23mm discs, and one stamp. (Please note this is slightly different than the pictured discs).
This truck with a pumpkin in the back extruder disc set is a more advanced set to assemble. After a lot of experimenting I have changed one of the 57mm discs (the back window) into one 23mm/24mm disc that is a mirror piece. So, you would need to extruder two lengths and then put them together. I found the opening was just TOO small for the large jerky gun extruder to easily extrude. This does add a step to assembling the truck, but it makes it much easier to extruder.
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 sticky or hard. You want a soft and malleable soap dough so that it easily extrudes through the soap extruder.
