FINALLY! I have yet to find a video or post comparing Aves Apoxie Sculpt vs Aves Apoxie Clay. In the recent sale I was able to finally grab some to give it a whirl and FINALLY be able to put a video out there comparing the two! I’ve waited YEARS for this! In the meantime, I have had much experience working with Aves Apoxie Sculpt Natural as well as the White through the years so I talk about those a lot in comparison to the Clay and also test out and show the Blue Apoxie Sculpt and talk about the differences with that as well! Enjoy!

Thank you so much for this video! I am new to sculpting and ordered the brown Apoxy Sculpt first. Since everybody else tends to use the natural one, I ordered the smallest amount of this, too. I can confirm that the coloured one is way softer and tackier and gives you a longer working period than the natural one. The downside is as you say in the video, you need to be extra careful not to squeeze your newly sculpted parts because they will still be quite soft after a couple of hours and I managed to squeeze some parts 5 times in a row 😅 The brown one also is much more smelly than the natural one, especially while mixing the two components.
Thanks for sharing your reviews! They are so helpful!
An extremely helpful video for the lost newbie that I am! Thanks!
You're very welcome! Glad it helps! :)
II just bought my first Appoxy sculpt to try it and Im hooked!, I quickly used up the one pound tester pots mostly fixing up my previous sculpey sculptures, sculpey is not fit for purpose for large figures IMHO, Appoxy sculpt sets rock hard and is great to work with. The problem is the smoothing agent Safety Solvent, it is a tiny bottle for £6!, there is bound to be something else I can use. I will now make ALL of my sculptures in Appoxy Sculpt as a base on top of the armature, than polymer clay on top of that. I cant wait to try the Appoxy Clay also
I hear ya on the smoothing solution! For what its worth, you don't NEED that to smooth. You can use water or rubbing alcohol to smooth things just as well :) They both work a little differently so you'll have to try them to see what I mean. It's hard to describe in words. But just know you don't need the actual solvent to smooth things out :)
It’s like $34/lb on Amazon right now. 😂 Let’s go B!!!
It looks like the Apoxie clay would help build bulk from the armature wire up with little compromise compared to the Apoxie sculpt, which takes details beautifully!
Yea...in all honesty, not a fan of the clay the more I play with it. It's very similar to old apoxie sculpt lol
Which would u recommend for jewelry making?
Any of them could work for jewlery making honestly.
Hi..=D...I was wondering what type of barrier cream do you use?..As I use epoxy a lot but have never had a reaction from it at all, and also I thought with it been non-toxic that I was safe to mix it without needing gloves etc.
I have two. "Invisible Glove": amzn.to/3hsSl95 and "SBS 44 Protective Cream" (can't find this one on Amazon, where I got it, again) I prefer the SBS to be honest. It's more lotion-y. The Invisible gloves tend to separate and get watery/goopy. They both work pretty much the same but it's never fool proof. It does wear off if you get your fingers wet when you smooth so it's not a great barrier against the epoxy on your skin after a little while. It is great, however, for getting the epoxy off of your nails and tops of your fingers. From when it works it's way up there but it doesn't wear off because you're not using that area if it makes sense. I figure it's better than nothing!
Now, for painting though, they both work amazing. Paint comes right off your hands when you wash them!
I'm putting together a plastic model kit. Some of the pieces that need to be glued together don't match up perfectly, and there are big seams. I want to mold something over the big seams. What would you recommend?
If you mean filling the gaps and seams, this will work fine. You may need to water it down a little to get in the crevices.
Hello, I would like to ask you the following.
I want to secure cured polymer clay into blank bezels of sterling silver.
Which adhesive would you recommend it would work best? Can I use Apoxie Clay or would you suggest a different adhesive?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Apoxie clay would work. Otherwise you can try E6000 glue.
Thank you for your response.
How often do the sales happen and do they notify you?
I've never gotten a notification but if they have a newsletter, I'm sure they notify those who sign up. I haven't seen sales happen that often to be honest but I don't usually keep up.
Do you get like a rash from apoxie sculpt?
I'm ok with it but if I use it for awhile I do get a little itchy. Some people do have more serious reactions so I always use gloves when mixing and when I can sculpting.
Always use different sticks to remove parts a & b from containers....not your fingers which can transfer minute amounts from one jar to the other and cause premature hardening of the product. Always wear gloves. Use a mask, respirator and good ventilation. Everyone who has direct contact to ANY brand of epoxy will eventually become sensitized and have an allergic reaction. Only androids are exempt. This could be reddened skin, whole body itch, difficulty breathing. It's only a matter of time.
Yes, yes. Very good tips! I often do try not to use the same tool or my fingers but sometimes if it's already old and I don't care too much about what's left in the jar, I do get lazy lol! I wear a respirator when sanding especially and gloves for mixing. There is NO WAY I can sculpt with gloves so I do take my chances there (although I do use tools often more so than my fingers and I do apply a barrier cream since I figure it's better than nothing :)
@@ArtByCRiley Try the blue nitrile gloves. Keep them damp or use powder to keep them from sticking to the material. Works for me. Stay safe!
On the packaging it actually says that you should wear gloves when mixing but it doesn't say explicitly that you should wear them when sculpting. Many plasticy things are toxic while they are mixed only. So maybe it's a good way in between. For example I have the brown colored Apoxy Sculpt and it is way too sticky to knead whithout gloves, but for sculpting this stickyness is not desirable since it will stick more to the gloves than to the model even when the gloves are damp 😅 Or am I doing something wrong?
@@christinas5854 This product, as do ALL epoxy products, continues to off-gas until completely cured. (Just because the company wasn't specific doesn't change the science.) Not only is touch eventually harmful, but breathing fumes and dust from sanding can cause serious reactions. If you must, damp, blue nitrile gloves are the best...it'd help if they fit tightly. When in doubt about the safety of products, before purchasing ask the manufacturer to provide you with an MSDS: Material Safety Data Sheet. As far as you doing something wrong, the temptation to avoid gloves because they stick to the clay is clearly an issue. Make no mistake, EVERYONE is allergic to these chemicals. It begins with itching and goes downhill. I was tempted and avoided gloves until I became sensitized after which I can't get within 50 feet of the stuff before my eyes swell shut and I wind up in the ER. There's no going back. You never can use epoxy again, and of course those who love epoxies just haven't had enough exposure YET to be aware of the danger. Sorry for sounding preachy, but speaking as a teaching sculptor who has explored all mediums since I became sensitized to epoxy, I'd suggest you invest your learning time using a non-toxic, natural product. Be safe. Best of luck!
@@leslieedwardshumez685 Oh thanks for explaining this, I didn't know this stuff was as toxic. And I am sorry that you suffer from these extreme reactions. I do almost always wear a mask when working with artificial clays, pastels, spray varnish or primers and the like and of course also and especially when sanding. And I always let it dry in another room be it the epoxy or primer or varnish. I used the blue nitril gloves you mention and they were the ones the epoxy did stick to 🙈 I bought a different brand white nitril gloves which are a bit tighter and I hope that I'll manage to sculpt with these instead. All the best and thank you again.
You sound like me
You: of course this would be a simple custom but we must re do the whole thing! ⓂⓎ ⓁⒾⒻⒺ
