Epoxy Putty Sculpt Clay, 2 Part A & B for Sculpting, Modeling, Building, and Repairing, 1 Pound, Natural

My first time using clay. The quality was great and easy to use. Texture was great. The thickness was great for my project and easy to clean off hands. I'm very hands on with my art pieces. Stickiness was great. Definitely recommend for projects and helps fix sculptures great

A truly great product: - Easy to mix - Pliable for hours - Models well - Adheres well (restoration work) - Hardens like a rock but sands and paints well after hardening I am currently restoring a 1940s era Nativity piece. It is chalkware and I am still doing the final fine-tuning, but look at the results in the picture! The main area is the left hand where fingers were completely missing.

I've use Apoxie Sculpt as apoxie of choice. Decided to try this. It was extremely sticky, like white apoxie sculpt. I prefer natural, so that was a little offputting. I tested it on a vintage piggy bank. It had broken and was missing parts. It worked well for filling in the larger holes. But I tried to thin it out to get it into the cracks, and it just wasn't having it. Rubbing alcohol worked better than water. It did cure nicely. My one peeve was the packaging. It was in plastic bags inside the jars. The clay is sticky. Which means the clay attaches to the bags. Scraping the clay off the bag is a pain.

The product is very firm out if the container but you can soften them using a microwave or putting the containers in hot water .. there is a slight chemical smell when you open the container but that dissipates quickly. They mix evenly quickly, there is a tacky feel but using some water on yiur hands clears that up. There's no sagging on vertical or horizontal positioning, and doesn't deform while setting up. When fully cured I was able to easily sand it using different grits of sand paper, sanding it to a decent polish, and even worked well with a rotary tool. Took great to paints, both spray and brush, and also worked well with decoupage (wood glue and tissue paper) it doesn't become brittle or flaky, holds up to medium distance falls, 6' onto tile floor. I recommend starting with small batches as it seems to harden faster than others of the same style. Be careful where you set the curing unused material as it will bond with just about anything.

I've always used ApoxySculpt, but wanted to try some of these new alternatives. Comparatively, this stuff is not as great for getting small detail, but actually dries harder than ApoxySculpt. So actually better for certain parts of projects. Would definitely buy this again.

Easy to use and apply. Keep the inductions in mind when using or you might have issues. They say to dip the container in warm water to warm it up and to use water to keep it from sticking to your hands or gloves. This makes it much easier to work with.

Edited to add: I've now tried both colors, and I can say that I prefer the white over the grey but they are both great! The white was a little easier to mix in my opinion, but had a slightly less working time. This could also be due to ratios that I pulled being slightly off though. use epoxy clays in my work fairly often, and wanted to try out this brand vs another popular one. This one was easier to blend together and easier on the hands in comparison, but did have a slightly quicker work time of 45 mins compared to the hour of the other one. (But also I used this one in a thinner coat so that could also have been the culprit). It seems just as strong as the other and I can't really see much of a difference in quality, so I'll be choosing this one more often moving forward since it's more price friendly for larger scale work!

Works great for modeling. Just make sure you have plenty of water on hand to keep it from sticking to everything. I included a pic of an old games workshop heavy weapons crew that I restored and modeled for. The sandbags, muzzle flash and the glizzy (the binoculars were lost when I got them second hand) were all modeled with this stuff. I love is epoxy sculpt clay. Highly reccomend it.
