Creating Flowers with Apoxie Sculpt and Apoxie Clay and the differences between the two products

[@conniethomas8954]

I was just thinking about trying polymers clays and then you show us this video, I’m so going to do this. Thank you for the video it’s very helpful.

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou so much Connie. Polymerclay works well but for inside projects. Thanks for watching. :)

[@judywheeler8734]

So interesting. Your flowers are lovely. Great information. Thanks.

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou very much Judy, glad you enjoyed the video and thankyou for watching. :)

[@gloriajanik1981]

Love love the flower. So many fun things to be made!!!

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou very much Gloria and Thankyou for watching. 😊

[@tonyaregan6473]

I always get so much useful information from your videos! I have bought some flowers from a thrift store that are lovely, but I know that if I make my own that the end result will be so much more rewarding. Pride in workmanship! Thank you!

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou so much Tonya, appreciate that. Yes making your own can be very rewarding indeed. Thanks for watching. :)

[@deeschabot8095]

Thank you, Peter. Can’t wait to try both. Another great video!

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou very much Dee, I had fun creating them all. Thanks for watching. :)

[@valerieslater3029]

This video has really helped me with what I am going to try, thanks so much...

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thanks heaps Valerie, enjoy making them. 😊

[@justinevallance8231]

Thanks Peter. Your videos are thoroughly informative and also enjoyable to watch. I'm consistently learning so much. Best wishes always and keep up the great work 👍

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou very much Justine appreciate that and thankyou for watching them. :)

Great video never worked with apoxy clay some great ideas love that crimson rose Thankyou Peter

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thanks so much Kathy. Its a great product to work with, glad you enjoyed the video. :)

[@laurenleighton6135]

have used colourants adding only to part A, then can leave for a while and later mix in the part B-works well if you want colour to be consistent in several pieces. The coloured part A won't harden until mixed with B even a long time later.

[@TreasuryRoad]

Good to know, thankyou so much for letting everyone know and thanks for watching, appreciate it. :)

[@frogystal]

I have never worked with this before, looks really cool! Just curious, epoxy clay can be rolled out pretty thin (for small scale stuff) and remain pretty strong?

[@TreasuryRoad]

That’s a good question but l haven’t rolled it that thin to find out. I think if you are creating really small pieces then you may be better off with polymerclay if they are for indoors. You could purchase a small container of it and give it a try to see if it works for your needs. Thanks for watching. 😊

I’d like to attach some flowers to a sculptural cactus mosaic. Should I prepare the cactus in advance by placing a pin ( post) in the cactus and then push my apoxy flower onto the pin to dry in place, or would it be best not to use a pin at all and attaching the flower after it dries using a silicone adhesive. Thanks for your recommendation

[@TreasuryRoad]

I can’t give advice specifically about your project because there are always variables l cannot see. But l think either way would work well. If l was attaching the flower to the pin l would want to make sure it’s not smooth for the AS to grab onto for extra gripping security. Although in saying that the Apoxie Sculpt would probably grab to it like anything. The advantage to adding the flowers on later means you have the freedom to change your mind where they are placed on the overall cactus. I hope this helps you. Thanks for watching and commenting sounds like a great project. 😊

How well does black paint stain the white or natural epoxy? It's it more cat effective to buy black?

[@TreasuryRoad]

The black I find is messy and the black gets all over my gloves. When purchasing Apoxie Sculpt I generally purchase the natural coloured one but a few months ago I purchased a large container of the black for a project, I haven't started it yet. Have a look to see what retailers are charging for each colour and purchase the one that best suits your project. Thanks for watching. :)

[@tanyagrimes8258]

Peter this video is AWESOME!!!! Cannot wait to try making these!!!! Do you think “Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments” would work for this protect?

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou so much Tanya, they were fun to make. I am pretty sure I have tried Pearl Ex and it works but to be sure do a test first. :)

[@trishjordan3008]

Peter, I don't know where I got the idea, but when Part A and Part B have been mentioned in another video, I have always thought this referred to Part A Sculpt and Part B Clay. Why does Sculpt need to be purchased with Clay? I still don't quite understand but I will keep researching. Again, thank you for the video!

[@TreasuryRoad]

Trish, Apoxie Sculpt and Apoxie Clay are different products. When you purchase Apoxie Sculpt it comes with its own part a and part b and the same for Apoxie Clay. They are not interchangeable, 😊

[@trishjordan3008]

@@TreasuryRoad thank you for answering, Peter. Yes, I have done a lot of reading since I messaged you and I have sorted it out in my mind now! There is so much to learn! Thank you again.

[@mct1950]

Would this be a good product to use the seal some opening in Aluminum framed glass door that I want to do GOG on and then hang horizontally outside

[@TreasuryRoad]

I'm not sure what y0u mean.

[@terribohn7588]

What color apoxie sculpt did you use to make the colored pieces?

[@TreasuryRoad]

The pinky ones l just used the natural coloured Apoxie Sculpt. Thanks for watching. 😊

[@lisak.cammack429]

Just to clarify, if I were to adhere one of the flowers to my substrate, would it be wise to just use more of the Apoxie Sculpt/Clay respectively? I am thinking of doing a mixed media Apoxieclay with glass on glass for outdoors. Thank you for your videos. I find them quite helpful.

[@TreasuryRoad]

Thankyou very much Lisa. Generally you can use Apoxie Sculpt to adhere the Apoxie Sculpt flowers in a mixed media project. :)

[@lynnmonachese9310]

Do you seal these after you rub the metallic powders?

[@TreasuryRoad]

When it comes to the metallic powders for inside I didn't worry about it, however if you feel it needs it then apply a clear sealant but one that doesn't go yellow. I know some people prefer to seal everything. I created a piece using Apoxie Sculpt some years back and I applied a clear sealer I think it may have been Swellegant Clear Sealant but don't quote me on that and it worked a treat. :)

[@lynnmonachese9310]

@@TreasuryRoad Thank you so much! Cheers from Atlanta!

[@kellysnider5138]

What if you do have access to a kiln? What kind of clay can be used to create mosaic pieces like flowers, hearts, etc.

[@TreasuryRoad]

I suggest watching this video. 😊

[@TreasuryRoad]

It would come down to the type of clay you would like to use and the firing temperature of the clay. :)

[@kellysnider5138]

@@TreasuryRoad As a newbie I have no idea as to the type of clay I would want to use - only that I'm working exclusively on projects that are used outdoors.

[@kellysnider5138]

@@TreasuryRoad But, the title is "no kiln" ?

[@TheRealRealHousewife]

Any kind of paint?

[@TreasuryRoad]

Its all in the video you can also check out the Aves website for more information. :)

[@donnadiesburg7451]

can I embed rhinestones in this?

[@TreasuryRoad]

I have in the Apoxie Sculpt but I haven't in the Apoxie Clay. :)

[@gloriajanik1981]

If you mix more you can use cookie cutters and things of that nature

[@TreasuryRoad]

That’s very true Gloria, that makes it even easier. Thanks so much. 😊

[@barbarasvoboda2231]

I still don't understand how Apoxie Sculpt and Apoxie Clay are different. I have only used Sculpt, and it looks like the clay does the same thing.

[@TreasuryRoad]

I did outline it in the video but you can always go to the Aves Studio website and have a look. :)

[@TreasuryRoad]

@@robertbrandywine I am not sure what you mean, the two products are different although they do have some things in common with each other. :)
