I do a lot of repair on all kinds of things, and I always have need of epoxy clay. I've been tempted to try lesser costly compounds, but Aves always works for me. It is sometimes difficult to knead, but I've never had a batch fail me, and I am able to model it and carve it for the fine detail that I often need. I just finished off my last batch joining the broken off arm of a figure on a 1903 spelter lamp and rebuilding a damaged, broken 1910 spelter eagle cigar and matches holder. On the eagle, the side of his face was crushed in, he had holes and missing toes, and the person wanted him mounted on a sculpted base that would fit a metal box. Both required a lot of sculpting and faux painting to blend the patinas of the originals, and Aves Apoxie clay handled it all. I figure with as much hard work it takes to restore a lot of the things I repair, why fuss about a few dollars when I have something that I know will get the job done right the first time.

Twice delivered in bubblewrap envelope. First time the cap was broken, the second time, the 2 parts were separated, meaning i probably got an opened one...

Many years ago I bought a small packet of Apoxie to try out. I wasn't impressed with the short working time...it was in the summer and quite warm that day so the curing time was shortened significantly. So for that reason i thought it was a waste of money. My bad.My problem was that i didn't think it was different than polymer clay! The problem was me, not the Apoxie.That said, in the past couple of months I've watched umpteen videos on YT and realised there are a lot of things I can do and make with this product and I can't wait to dig in and create!

This two part epoxy works great. Sets up time is around 12 hours. Drys solid and hard. Sand easily and doesn't get air pockets if mixed properly. I would highly recommend for value and quality.

This was great and certainly did was it was supposed to. Easy to use and mould and worked perfectly for what I was wanting to use for. Great for small projects

This class is very firm to work with and has to be worked a bit to make it soft and flexible, however once it's softened it is very easy to work details in and dries very hard. I would recommend this to others who need a hard finished product, but do expect some loss of detail as it dries.

I picked this up simply to experiment with clay again after a 20-year break from sculpting. I was able to get some pretty good detail and it has hardened well. There does seem to be a sweet spot of time where it's at it it's best working stiffness. the first hour of working, it's very sticky and tacky and a little hard to work. The next hour it's at a good spot in terms of not being super sticky and allowing for pretty good detail. I found I had about 30 minutes after that to work in very tight detail with wooden sculpting tools. i also use old dental picks which worked to some degree well after that.I have mixed up 5 or 6 batches at this point with a lot of success but I also use a small scale to measure my two parts to ensure they are equal. I get within about .02 of a gram and that seems to work out best for me. I use a small pocket scale that cost around $10.I am not sure but I believe temperature will impact how long it takes to harden. Also, I haven't painted this yet, but other test pieces I did took acrylic paint very well.

This is a great product but for longer storage life, keep it in the freezer. It doesn't take long to thaw out.

I bought it based on IPMS master modeler Paul Budzicโs video review on his website. He said it had longer working time and finer grain and scribed more easily that the epoxysculpt. I used it on an Airfix B-25C to fill a gap as he showed and it worked well and I was able to scribe across it the next evening, matching he existing panel lines. Also used it to back some sheet plastic structural changes on another model. Itโs working fine for my purposes.

I was ultra curious about this product. As an artist/maker/diy'er, this product is a must have in your studio. I haven't used it for a specific project but I mixed up a small amount to get an idea of the texture, color, how it rolled out or could be shaped and how it held the shape, take and maintain impressions etc..it has a nice smooth texture and is much softer than I expected- I have worked with sculpey firm so was used to using a firmer clay. It also has a sticky quality to it though I read that letting it sit for a few minutes after mixing may help that. I rolled it out to a little thinner than 1/8 of an inch, on a piece of non stick parchment. I had to use a single edge razor blade to lift a disc I cut with a metal circle cutter. It wanted to stick to the parchment and left a residue of the clay on the parchment. This surprised me as I had never had anything stick to the parchment in the past. I cut several 3/4" triangles with a metal shaped cutter and used a tiny dotting tool to press a design into the clay and it held the impression well. I used a plastic credit card to press straight lines across the clay. I left it to air dry and after 5 or 6 hours, I turned them over. They were a bit firmer but seemed pliable. The following day, about 13 hours after mixing and forming the clay, I turned the pieces again and the back sides were still sticky to touch and I left them to completely dry. There was no curling or cracking and no visible shrinkage. There are endless possibilities to this product and as I use it for different applications in the future, I'll update this review with the results. I'm repairing a broken soapstone carving for a client and plan to use it to fill in areas where pieces were lost. I'm optimistic it will adhere to the soapstone.

I tried Apoxie Sculpt and I love it. i wanted to see this Apoxie Clay and man does it really shine!!! It's soft, both parts are soft and they mix better than the apoxie sculpt. Not to mention it dries faster than Apoxie Sculpt. The quality makes it easier to sculpt and detail before it dries. It turns out stronger and it it comes in a cool container so you don't have to worry about it drying out quick. You still need gloves to keep the residue off your hands, but it's worth the price and it comes in different colors!!!!
