    They call it an "oil paint eraser" because you can use it to swipe a clean stroke on the canvas, through the oil paint. It doesn't erase actually of course, it just sorta pushes the paint around and leaves a clean mark.

    The "cheap synthetic brushes" are fabulous for not only this, but art projects as well. They are usually nylon or taklon, hold their shape, and last. Avoid natural hair brushes, they are limp, floppy and the hairs fall out.

    Bumpy seams are the bain of my existence. That and how easily epoxy sculpt sands vs harder plastics. Very easy to sand too much off when you think you are sanding evenly. Epoxy sculpt flies off while the harder plastic just chilling so if it wasnt bumpy before it is now!

      Go to the website and in the menu go to the clearance sub-menu. You will find MANY colors of Apoxie Sculpt (and their other products as well) sold in sets, generally 1/4 lb or 1 lb sets for less than $20 each. Each set includes part A and B, unless otherwise noted. The 1/4 lb sets are a great way to get to know the product and it ALL sands very very well. Good day....you might get your Sculpt faster than you thought now, maybe!

    I have the 8 oz A & B containers. The A part is ok, but the B part has an orangy look, like oil but not oil. If I get a bit out it feels harder like its drying out. Now to the question. What is used to add to the container to freshen up the contents? Water, alcohol, oil?

    • @DeeJayBeStudios
      @DeeJayBeStudios  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I pull out my half that I need, and knead it with isopropyl alcohol. 70% - 90%.
      It comes back to life right away. Then mix with the other part.
      You can also store it with damp paper towel in the container. Sealing in a ziplock helps too :) I revived 5 year old stuff with isopropyl.

    Hello! I've been using the apoxie for a fair few customs now over the past few months but i've read a little about it further and though i've not been using gloves as you've advised here some people have reported developing severe allergies to the stuff after handling it too much with bare hands over time, and apparently once this happens it's irreversible as it has absorbed into your skin and doesn't leave your system. I was wondering how long you've been using the apoxie and if you or anyone you know whos used it has potentially had a similar thing happen? I find sculpting with my bare hands to be most effective like you state but by the sounds of it the potential reaction that can develop is pretty bad, so i think i will endeavor to use gloves from now on to avoid such a thing.

    • @ianp8921
      @ianp8921 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Lucy, i was a longtime boatbuilder,(20 plus years) used epoxies and thought I was good wearing gloves. I built up a sensitivity to it.
      I ended up in hospital with severe blood poisoning . apparently the hardener is the culprit and it will get in through skin pores, (if you can smell it it's getting in!)
      if you plan on using it or any epoxy for long periods of time you really should use an air supplied full face respirator and protective clothing.

    • @lake2946
      @lake2946 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ianp8921 the specific stuff i have been using to sculpt (for not very long, and only in small quantities) is the same shown above; aves apoxie sculpt. My dad had worked with other epoxies in the past and so i knew they could be fumy and bad but because this kind was specifically meant for modeling and claims to be non toxic i thought it'd be fine, though hearing from you and other accounts it can cause some serious problems, this apoxie doesn't really have an odor though, i have a respiratory filter mask on the way for spraying primer and such, do you think this would suffice well or be needed when this kind doesn't seem to have odor? from what i can tell the reaction seems to be unpredictable and can show up for people very quickly or after years and years similar to what you've explained here.
      There is an official pdf document on it's components and safety i found here:
      aldax.com.au/msds_tds/msds/Aves%20-%20Apoxie%20Sculpt.pdf
      Which seems to state that it is safe but it appears to put a lot of emphasis on it being non toxic in its fully cured state, so i wonder if that is deliberate or not to try and potentially avoid discussing the issues that come from over exposure to the uncured separate components.
      Thanks for your response Ian, I very much hope that with only my short direct exposure to it that i do not develop any problems if i am able to practice proper safety with it in future. (in light of this information though i think i will purposefully be using it very sparingly from now on.)

      @@lake2946 i think short term use with the proper safety equipment is not a huge concern, like you have said it affects a percentage of people. I would err on the side of caution and wear , protect yourself as best as you can. as for the apoxie claim of non toxic when cured , that applies to most epoxies or other products too, being the devils advocate for a sec, would you lick a gallon of paint or the painted wall when dry.?
      there are epoxies that claim to be safer and i do not doubt that( airopoxie is one). but your health and concern for your health should be priority.

      I don't wear gloves because it inhibits my ability to sculpt. Technically you should take safety precaution, but if you don't have an allergy- it should be fine for short term use. I have talked with other artists about this, and only certain people react. If I develop an allergy I will wear gloves, but for now I do not.

      @@DeeJayBeStudios Thanks for the reply! I very much hope you dont develop an issue, I'm going to wear gloves now as i have more sensitive skin so am probably more prone to developing an issue with it, from what i've read people who develop a reaction will then end up reacting to just being near it regardless of if they start wearing gloves after developing reactions. I've been using disposable gloves while sculpting and although it doe inhibit slightly I'm still able to smooth and shape quite well and use my silicone tools for details. I just find myself needing to dip my fingers in water a little more often.

      If you are concerned about this, you can wear gloves & a respirator. Some people develop an allergy to it. I don’t know to what extent it can cause more than that. I personally take the risk because I must sculpt with my hands. I use my fingers as a tool.

    I worked with SuperSculpey (polymer clay) since long time and now started to work with Apoxie Sculpt because my latest project is too large to put in the oven. My experience: Apoxie Sculpt is so much harder to work with, day and night difference. Polymer Clay you can smear, connect, rub, smoothen etc. very easily however you like while Apoxie Sculpt has a very stubborn (surface) behavior. You can push it into the desired shape but rubbing/ pulling will damage the surface very easily. And smoothing the surface with water works only acceptably in the first 30-45 minutes. After that water will create flocks on the surface and you can't really create the surfaces as you like. Maybe Apoxie Clay is better than Apoxie Sculpt, havn't tested it yet. Or maybe I have to use a different liquid than water. But so far my experience is: Use Polymer Clay whenever you can. Epoxy clays only if there is no way to bake your part in the oven or when you don't need fine structures.

    • @DeeJayBeStudios
      @DeeJayBeStudios  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. Polymer is very easy to use. However it is much more brittle than Resin based clay. A Breyer model will melt in the oven so an air dry clay is necessary. I have recently gotten into using Magic Sculpt which is a different brand of two part resin clay that works similar to Polymer. It is a lot better than Apoxie. So much easier to use. I will be making a video & comparison tutorial soon. It takes time to learn how to achieve desirable results, don’t give up! :)

    • @DeeJayBeStudios
      @DeeJayBeStudios  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are a resin based product, so they do not become brittle. They turn to a plastic consistency. Sometimes in the model horse world- if sculpture is done on top of a model with Apoxie- it can lift overtime. But that is generally do to lack of care in the reinforcement phase. It’s good stuff.

    Will Air Dry Clay Work?

    • @DeeJayBeStudios
      @DeeJayBeStudios  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Apoxie Sculpt does air dry. It is a resin based compound that does not crack, can be sanded and drilled. If you use cheaper brands of air dry clay they are prone to cracking, brittle and not as strong as resin based products. Another popular brand in the hobby is "Magic Sculpt" which has very similar properties to Apoxie, though I have never tried. It is worth the investment to try it out. You can get small containers which are fairly inexpensive.
