We’ll talk about what it is, how you can use it in your mosaic art, how to mix it up, and tips on how to not stress about the ‘working window’ of the product.

Thanks so much Julie…. I have been confused about Apoxy Sulpt for awhile now. Kathie from Mexico 🐢

Never used but ready to try it. Thanks Julie
Super helpful, thank you!
Hi Allison! I'm glad you got value from it.😊 Keep creating and I'm thankful you're here!⚡
I want to make a frameless glass on glass sun catcher and wonder if Apoxie Sculpt would work to cover the edges. Thank you for all your videos. You are my number one go to when I need an answer.
Thanks for another great video. Love your presentations and excellent speaking voice. Informative and interesting.
Hi Wally! Thank you for your kind words. 😊 Great to hear you enjoyed the video. Apoxie Sculpt is good stuff! It's so much fun to experiment with. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
You are so articulate! I appreciate you so much…and your humor 😊
Hi Bay Blue! Thank you for your kind words!! 😊 Wow! Yeah, I don't take myself too seriously. 😂 Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!
Yours is my favorite mosaic videos channel.
Hi Liz! Thank you!! 🔥 It's great to hear you're getting value from my videos. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!
Thank you for this helpful tip!!💖🐱👤
Hi Skrtskit! You're welcome and thanks for watching. It's GREAT stuff! Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🙌
I tried working on a custom action figure today, I don’t know if you know s.h figuarts or dragon ball, but I made a future gohan with apoxie and it was my first time too. It turned out spectacular!! For my first time it was amazing I also used spray paint with it as well😁😁😁
Hey Julie. Have to say i love your sense of humor. I just recently used Apoxy Sculpt to adhere ball chain to a mosaic. It worked quit well. Amazing stuff. Thanks for the video, as always enjoy it.
Hi LM! Thanks so much for your kind words. I try not to take myself too seriously. 😂 Ooohhh, Apoxie Sculpt does GREAT with ball chain doesn't it? I can't say enough good things about this stuff. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!
Have found it works very well on fiberglass. Currently have just used it to mend garden statues like adding a tail to a broken cat or making a fountain bird look more realistic. I was inspired by your sunflower videos to add a string of beads in the center of a small tray. Worked great. Thank you for all you do for especially us beginners. You are a treasure.
Hi TimeEnuf4200! That's a GREAT use of Apoxie Sculpt! I'm so glad to hear you're getting value from my videos. Keep creating and I'm thankful you're here!🔥
I have to tell you that this video was super helpful to me. I am working on an outside garden project and just found out that I could use apoxie for the adhesive and double bonus, it also acts like a grout. From all you said, I am going to try it, except I'll do it on a small ball or object. I will be using tile or stained glass. I'm actually looking forward to trying it thanks to your video. Well done and described and many thanks.
Hi Heidi! Fantastic! Apoxie Sculpt is great on spheres because it holds onto the tesserae so well. Sounds like a really fun project! I'm glad the video was helpful. Keep creating and I'm so thankful you're here!🔥
Answer of the day; My 1st project using Apoxy Sculpt was with a golf ball and little gems. A mini gazing ball. Very easy and pretty!
Hi Tonya! Ohh, I LOVE your first Apoxie Sculpt project!! What a great idea! And so Earth-friendly. With your substrate being so little, the Apoxie Sculpt is a PERFECT adhesive choice. So fun! I'd love to see pics of your mini gazing balls. If you can, please tag me on IG (instagram.com/julieweilbacher/). Thanks! Keep creating, and as always, I'm so glad you're here!🔥
Thanks Julie! You are so funny…love your humor! I could watch your videos everyday. Great info on apoxy..I was curious and now I may need to order some. Do you know how long it lasts in the containers if kept separately? ❤️
Hi JC! Thanks so much for your kind words. I like to laugh + have fun, and I don't take myself too seriously. Great to hear that's coming through in my videos. Apoxie Sculpt is great stuff....and it comes in so many colors! WOW! The shelf life is 2-3 years as long as you keep Part A and Part B separated with lids on. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🙌
How very nice!
Hi luminousglassart! Thanks so much!😊 Great to hear you enjoyed it. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
Love your videos!! Love your humor!!
Can you help us learn how to get your pattern to your substrate??
Hi Dee Ann! Yay! It's great to hear you're enjoying my videos! I try not to take myself too seriously.😂 Thanks for the future video suggestion. It's on the list! Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🙌
My first use of this product was to make some pendants. Okay for my first try, but excited to try take2! I also want to try a couple things with leftovers : tinting it and building small flowers and dots with the tinted product for additional mosaic tesserae materials
Hi Carolyn! YES! It's great to come up with ways to use left over adhesives like Apoxie Sculpt or thinset-mortar. They're perfect to make tesserae or smaller substrates. I like that you're experimenting and there's no waste!🙌 Keep creating and I'm glad you're here! 🔥
This is crazy. I just ordered two kits last night from kristy freesen using this. Thanks so much for your awesome videos. Sara
Watched it. You answer every question we could possibly have. Thanks Julie
Hi Sara! Great to hear you enjoyed the video. It's such great stuff. What will you make first with your Apoxie Sculpt? Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🙌
Thanks for the video. Question, would you use this for general adhesion for small sized projects? How expensive would that be compared to other adhesives or thinset? Would are the +s and/or-s? Appreciate any comments. Thanks.
Thanks for the info! Do these mosaics need to be grouted?
Hi Erika! They don't have to be grouted. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
Thanks for the great videos. I would like to try Apoxie Sculpt for my mosaic jewellery and other pieces. I am on a limited budget so what colors would you suggest I start with? Thanks Julie.
Hi Judi! Great to hear you enjoyed the video. Apoxie Sculpt is fun stuff to work with. So versatile! I would suggest a neutral color like gray. There's a silver gray and a charcoal gray. I went with the silver. You'll see it listed below the video in the description. Keep creating my friend, and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
@@JulieWeilbacher thanks so much. I was thinking of ordering 3 different colors as the shipping is better if you order more where I live. Someone else suggested black and/or neutral. What do you think. I am only going to get the 1lb size of whatever colors I decide. I have seen people just use the apoxie sculpt for their jewellery and not grout which means needing more options. I also read in their site where you can add acrylic or oil paints to white to make custom colors. What are your thoughts? Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions 🥰
How do you use this material for making borders and outlines for mosaic rocks and grouting for outdoors.? Is it a good material for this use? Thanks for your helpful tips.
Hi Paula! Apoxie Sculpt is an excellent adhesive for mosaic rocks and pretty much most outdoor mosaics for that matter. If you want to make borders or lines with it, then roll it between your hands to form a 'string' or pasta/cord-like piece. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
It is great to use for jewelry except that it gets very hard to work with for me.
You are so cute on your videos. 😂
Judy Judy Judy! I'm sorry to hear it's challenging for you. It does tend to have a mind of its own when being spread onto some surfaces -- metal jewelry substrates in particular. Or is the mixing up? Thanks for watching, keep creating, and I'm so glad you're here!😊
I haven't used Apoxie yet. Now after watching your video, I wonder since it's a clay base, can you use it free form style with no substrate? For example, make a rope out of the Apoxie, lay it out on wax paper or parchment, shape it, add your choice of tesserae and let it dry. 3D flowers come to mind also, LOL! That is all...I need coffee! 🙃🙃🙃
Hi my mosaic friend, Judith! YES! You can definitely make free-form shapes with it.....and then let them air-dry. No baking required! I would lay it out on wax paper. What will you make first? Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!😊
Yes you can! I have made little balls, rope type strands etc. I put it on parchment paper and it doesn’t, stick. It is great! I get the white and color it so you don't have to buy all the colors of AP.
use it for most of my mosaics and bead adhesive-only downside is the high price and shipping to western Canada. I would use it even more if it wasn't so incredibly expensive.
How much do I use for my garden stepping stones? How do I clean them? Is cleaning like grouting? Thanks for your great videos?
I would recommend using thinset or a cement-based adhesive for stepping stones.🙌
Also I was wondering if you have ever used modeling paste (acrylic) inplace of grout? I was thinking about trying it on a glass bottle that I decorated with glass tessera. (Just bc of the smooth texture and not needing it to be water proofed)
Hi Jennifer! I haven't used it but I would encourage you to do a little test just to see if it's the look you want and will be easy to work with before you mosaic your glass bottle. Unsanded grout would also give you a smooth finish. Keep creating and I'm thankful you're here!⚡
I tried the modeling paste on a small project... it didn't work very well it bubbled. Thought I'd let you know. Tysm for your amazing teachings!
@@jenniferchristenson4200 Hi Jennifer! Thanks for reporting back! Appreciate it!
Is apoxy sculpt and epoxy putty the same thing?
Hi Jennifer! Great question! I'm not sure they're the same thing. Apoxie Sculpt has to be mixed together in order to activate, whereas epoxy putty comes ready made. That may be a great future video topic.😂 Keep creating and I'm thankful you're here!
Can you push it into a silicone mold to get a shape?
Hi Kari! Yes, you can do that. The silicone will release it once cured. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
@@JulieWeilbacher
Thank you Julie!
I have used it to make ornaments. The first time I used it I put it on too thick and it filled up the spaces where the grout is supposed to be. After that I learned I should make sure the Apoxie Sculpt is no thicker than a dime.
Hi Patty! Oh I bet it worked well on such a small substrate.....especially if it was curved. GREAT advice about spreading on no thicker than a dime. Thank you for sharing. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🙌
Hi BW! The 'dime' advice is great!! 🙌
Amazon now has a generic version called Epoxy Sculpt. Please review it.
Hi Libby! I'll put your request on the list! Thanks! Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
😍👍💕👏👏👏👏
Hi Sangue! Thanks very much! Great to hear you liked the video. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here! 🔥
never heard of letting it 'rest' for 5 minutes.
