Aves Apoxie Sculpt - 2 Part Modeling Compound (A & B) - 1 Pound, Apoxie Sculpt for Sculpting, Modeling, Filling, Repairing, Simple to Use and Durable Self-Hardening Modeling Compound - Blue

I use this for tabletop gaming. Good for making tactical rocks, smoothing out edges in bases, filling gaps in models and miniatures, and on occasion for casting parts from moulds. Little stiff for the latter use, but it doesn't hardly shrink when curing. Takes paint well (orange wasn't my first choice, but as I usually paint over it I decided the color didn't matter to me, and every other color was two weeks out shipping at the time I ordered it). Sticks decently to most materials, though I have noticed that sometimes you need to add a drop of superglue to miniature bases to help it along. Something about the black plastic the bases are made out of, I think, as it sticks to the grey plastic used in Warhammer, Fireforge, and Frostgrave minis nicely. Sticks to resin decently (used to fill gaps and voids in castings).

This little garden planter was given to us as a gift many years ago. Over those years, it was knocked over by squirrels 3 or 4 times; I was always able to glue him back together. Because he is small and kept surviving, we gave him the name Lucky Cito. We finally decided to put Him in a location where the squirrels couldn’t get to him. He was safely (we thought) tucked in a corner on the patio… but he wasn’t safe for long.Our children and their families were visiting one evening and one of them brought over a set of “Glow in the dark Bocce Balls”. They were having a great time in the dark, out in the back yard, until an errant Bocce Ball went flying and smacked right into poor Lucky Cito. The kids thought it was funny and one of them said “He’s not so Lucky anymore, he’s not going back together this time”. Well, that was a challenge, and I was determined to fix him. I had used Apoxie Sculpt before, for filling holes in wood projects, patching chipped ceramic tile, and other things, so I thought it might work for this. I bought the orange, and the color was almost a perfect match. He is stronger than ever now and lives in a corner in our screen room. Hope he stays safe there.I have included before and after photos.

works as described. Would buy again

I like getting from Amazon because it's faster. Plus with free ship cheaper than from supplier.

When arrived part A container was broken. It’s still good and useable. Just glad I didn’t lose any. Had an old part B container I cleaned out and move it into. Likely broke in shipping. Came in a yellow envelope. Would have been safer in a box.

I am using this clay to make fairy houses. The main advantage is that you do not bake or fire to set the clay. It is air dry. This helped me incorporate battery operated lights into my design. It is highly recommended that you wear gloves while using this product to protect your skin. This does make handle the clay more difficult. The clay is somewhat sticky when you first start to work with it, but holds details from a texture sheet beautifully. I also use a foundation like foil, cardboard, or wire to hold the initial shape. The clay will not hold a vertical shape on its on. The foundation also takes up space in the design because the Apoxie Sculpt is expensive. Once the clay is dry it is very strong. It also sticks to most surfaces and can be used as an adhesive. I also use polymer clay where you bake at a low temperature to cure. You can get more detail with polymer clay than with Apoxie Sculpt. They both have advantages and disadvantage. I use both types of clay in my projects. In the picture the branch holding the swing is a foil base then wrapped in Apoxie Sculpt. The door is also Apoxie Sculpt. Most of the other items are polymer clay backed individually. Then I used Apoxie Sculpt as the adhesive to put it all together around a big ceramic mug. You can paint the dry Apoxie Sculpt. I found that if you are using it in an area that will be hard to paint - then buying the clay in the appropriate color is very helpful.

This product is amazing for repairs. I bought a vintage pottery piggy bank on eBay and it arrived with the snout and leg smashed. Much of the snout was pulverized. It was so sad to see it destroyed and I didn't want to throw it away, so I glued as much as I could back together and then looked for an air dry, light clay to make a repair. Enter Apoxie sculpt. It was so easy to work with! I followed the directions carefully and it was perfect. It was pliable, so I could smoosh it in where necessary. I was also able to roll it out in between two pieces of wax paper and then drape it over the snout, covering the holes. It adhered easily to the pottery and I was able to use a little water on my fingers to smooth it. It was also easy to press in a little texture to it and to use a toothpick for sculpting. It dried perfectly - very hard and no shrinking. I could not be happier with this product! It really saved the day :-).

while this works as described the color shown is misleading, the vivid blue must be mixed 1:1 with a rather dark grey counterpart, results in a very dull/dark blue - truth in advertising, please
