Comparison of Apoxie Sculpt vs Apoxie Clay

[@christiankomodo]

Great info and I like how the video gave me some creative ideas when I saw all the cool stuff you made back there!

[@Gadgetmawombo]

Apoxie sculpt it also one of the toughest glues known to man. I think it might even be a better glue than jb weld. I use it to fix broken parts. I used it to glue my broken car door handle years ago and it hasn’t weakened one bit.

[@surferdude1740]

I've been getting all my things together to start sculpting and ran into your channel and wow you are very creative and talented the swords, pendents, amor and everything else is impressive you opened up a whole new thought process of what I can make thank you and take care beautiful✌️

[@timskinnercanada]

Great insights. I really like Apoxie Clay. Haven’t tried Apoxie Sculpt. Thanks for highlighting the differences.

[@amandathompson4692]

Thanks sharing I love your work. I am a jewelry maker and wasn't sure if I should try Apoxie Sculpt or Clay for setting some small crushed stone pieces in a bezel. I better understand the difference and will give them both a try in the future for different projects.

*******That Arm/Shoulder shield was Really Sweet looking. SAVE SOME MONEY And rough in with card board/thin wood/Aluminum Foil and skin it with bondo THEN Detail and beautify with the Ames Clay or Sculpt. It will save $$$$!!*******

Try invisible gloves that you rub on if you don’t want to wear disposables

[@avesclay]

We encourage disposable gloves for mixing - you can apply whatever you like for sculpting.

Does water have an smoothing effect whatsoever on Apoxie Clay? Thanks

[@crxft1ue416]

Yes! Using just a finger dipped in a shallow container works very well.

[@Gadgetmawombo]

Yes

[@RebeccasStudio]

I'm writing a young adult fantasy novel and want to cosplay my characters, but I need to make the weapons/swords durable and realistic. How would you suggest I do that?

[@avesclay]

use an armature like foam, or craft board, and coat it with Apoxie Sculpt.

[@RebeccasStudio]

@@avesclay Thank You! :D

[@theantichrist6524]

I would like to see more videos from you hopefully you can put up a lot more videos of your personal work I checked out the video site that your video is on but only seen this video of your work

[@amandamcdunn]

Great video! What do you seal it with?

[@kelvinpoetra]

hello sir, I wanted to ask if you have a type of clay that can melt and then harden again if you put it in the microwave?

[@avesclay]

I'm sorry we don't.

[@verysad2400]

try researching thermoplastic

[@patrickanselmo6615]

Don't I need gloves for the apoxy clay?

[@crxft1ue416]

Yes! It is strongly recommended.

[@MyFavoriteNolaThings]

Can you hear epoxy sculpt or clay? If so, how high of a temp could it tolerate? i.e. melt plastic beads in an epoxy framework.

[@avesclay]

both Apoxie Sculpt and Apoxie Clay will take heat to 300 degrees F. this video is about both products.

[@virginiacordoza5257]

How does it get hard? I mixed the right amount and it still won't dry and get hard

[@avesclay]

mixing is the key to activation of the product - you need to mix parts A and B really well to make that happen. set a timer for 2 minutes - mix knead and create friction with the product.

[@robertbrandywine]

Straight from Aves: You didn't use gloves when you mixed it (oil on your hands got in it). You accidentally used 2 As or 2 Bs. And last, you accidentally mixed Apoxie Sculpt with Apoxie Clay.

[@flymario8046]

Very nice! I love Apoxie Sculpt myself but never tried the Clay Version. Your accent is wonderful. I can tell you are speaking english but somehow I loose the context. Have to rewind a lot... but that is not an insult. It is well worth it. Your cat is darling.

[@virginiavoigt2418]

I found the content of the video very useful in as far as I could understand the speaker. I generally love listening to someone with an accent. Speaking somewhat slower would have helped me a lot.

[@BadBrickCreatives]

Does it work well with lego?

[@crxft1ue416]

Yup! It adheres to just about every solid.

[@mariec8943]

Is apoxie clay archival?thank you

[@avesclay]

YES - used by museums all over the world!

[@janeswerdlowrieck2519]

The Closed Captions indicate that whoever is doing them doesn't understand what she is saying. I would like to know what solvent she's using to work on the clay. She mentions a second choice of 'solvent' but the Closed Captioning does not know what that is. Anyone know? Thank you for the video. I'd like to find more info on the Apoxie Sculpt. I will Google around!

[@avesclay]

Aves Safety Solvent

[@Noahandallison]

Are all these safe to use with bare hands like she does?

[@hikikomoriarty]

[@mariec8943]

I think she said water as alternative

[@sislertx]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UAE GLOVES WHEN MIXING AT LEAST...READ THE MND SHEET...THEY ARE FREE!! AND EXPREEMLY IMPORTANT...

[@avesclay]

As the manufacturer - we absolutely recommend wearing gloves.

[@skorados7479]

Does the apoxie clay dry harden? Is it easy for it to snap?

[@avesclay]

Yes it does harden, very strong stuff...if it is very thin - yes you could snap it but as you see in this video - you could not snap that horn.

[@laurencecruz6819]

how heavy is your pendant/. it hardens like a rock is it also that heavy?

[@avesclay]

its very light - maybe weight like a penny.

[@YoksnaParaDesign]

Do you know if either Apoxie clay or Apoxie sculpt is food grade safe?

[@hikikomoriarty]

I just went to the *Aves Studio* website and looked at their pages for *Apoxie Clay* , *Apoxie Sculpt* , and *Apoxie Paste* . None of them mention anything about being food-safe after curing. I personally would not risk it.

[@YoksnaParaDesign]

@@hikikomoriarty thanks for letting me know!

I bet that you're a elder scrolls fan.

[@zippygogo3660]

sorry but it was impossible for me to understand your final summation after watching the video it would have been good to know your conclusion, your accent is quite thick and you spoke too quick to understand anything you said, but the bits and pieces I did understand were helpful

[@Stalliere]

Where you from my dude?

[@connie1wilson]

Surprised Aves allowed you to promote their product without wearing gloves.

[@avesclay]

at 1:23 seconds there is a pop up that says to wear gloves ; )

[@connie1wilson]

Aves Studio LLC. Makers of Fine Clays & Mache's - Should be practising what you preach. Your artists should wear gloves, it belittles your safety warning.

[@avesclay]

@@connie1wilson Thank you for your comments on that. This is a customer video Aves didn't make it or commission it to be made, we did request that that warning be added which she did - and we appreciate for the reasons you have mentioned. It is always ultimately up to the user to read the directions and follow them. We encourage all of our customer to be safe and follow the package directions ; ) thank you

[@connie1wilson]

Aves Studio LLC. Makers of Fine Clays & Mache's - Just so you know, put the disclaimer upfront ams let us know it’s not your company making the video, because I and am sure others did not know. But the videos under your company banner!

[@hikikomoriarty]

@@connie1wilson For what it's worth, I agree with everything you said, Connie. Someone else was asking in the comments if it is safe to work with these materials using bare hands, as the person does in the video. I directed that person to the warning at *1:21* . And yeah, they should make it clear upfront that this video was not made by the Aves Clay company, but by a customer.
