Meet a New Clay: Apoxie Sculpt

Most of the time we talk about air-dry clay, but The New Clay News is about ALL no-bake clays and today I'd like to introduce you to  Apoxie Sculpt, a modeling compound that cures with a chemical reaction rather than air-dry.  Apoxie Sculpt from Aves Studio is a 2-part self-hardening product with a putty-like, smooth consistency.  It is easy to mix and use, just mix and knead Parts A & B together for 2 minutes until thoroughly combined and a uniform color is achieved.  Cures hard in 24 hours without oven or kiln.  Working time is 2-3 hours.  Adheres to many other materials and can be seamlessly feathered before set-up or sanded, tapped, drilled, carved, lathed, or otherwise tooled after set-up!    Clean-up with Aves Safety Solvent or soap and water.

Apoxie Sculpt is often used for repairs and restorations  (antiques, toys, dolls, vases, ceramics, porcelain) because of excellent adhesion to wood, metal, ceramic, fiberglass, foam, glass, plastics, stone, and more! Also used for sculpting, casting/molds, doll making, miniatures, woodcarving, jewelry, glass art, toy and model design.  Popular for building armatures and covering seams in models and figures.  Suitable for outdoor use.  Waterproof and freeze-thaw stable.   Dries to a semi-gloss finish which can be painted. 

Not for children.  Safe for adult use when used as directed.  Wear appropriate disposable gloves when blending parts A and B and wear dust mask & safety glasses when sanding/grinding.

Available in: 1/4 lb, 1 lb, 4 lb, 20 lb and 100 lb. packages.  Colors: Natural, White, Pink, Black, Brown, Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver-grey, Bronze, Orange.
