I love Apoxy Sculpt. I don't know how I made anything before I found it. Side note, isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) works just as well as the solvent that's sold for Apoxy Sculpt. You get more for your dollar with rubbing alcohol.

I have been having a rough day. This right here was just what I needed to make me feel better. Keeping it between the ditches is rough just now, but now I have the memory of the CrafsMan's voice telling me to do just that. It helps. Thank you, CrafsMan. Lots of love to you and yours.💗
I used to use super sculpey, making bowling pin sculptures for my Etsy shop. I had to sculpt whatever elements I needed and then lower the bowling pins into boiling water, 'cause I wasn't about to put a nylon coated pin in our oven. Then after being introduced to apoxie sculpt(via the free range chicken video) I immediately bought some. Best decision ever, no more holding bowling pins over a pasta pot of boiling water for 15-20 minutes every time i sculpt. I have been using it for any/all sculpting I need to do since.

Just so you know, you can mix different 2 part epoxies! I've come to rely on a mix of green stuff and apoxie sculpt. I usually do about 25-30% GS for building the basic shape, and then 50:50 for doing finer detail work. You'll want to mix the Apoxie first then the GS then mix both together.

I have a weird dislike of the sound and texture of sandpaper. I've found jewelry files to be amazing tools when it comes to shaping and smoothing epoxy clay. Scotchbrite pads and steel wool are also nice for getting a matte finish. Just wanted to add those thoughts in to anyone looking for additional tools.

Hey Crafman, I know you won't see this, but I want to share anyway since you're the reason I started my own 3d printing service, but if you angle your molds just a bit, like 15 degrees, it makes the part stronger, and there's less failures. At 8:59 you can see that the bottom edge of the models are parallel to the make plate. Just give them a bit of a twist so that there aren't any supports on that bottom edge that are making contact with the model at the same time. It helps distribute the suction force from when the make plate rises up from the FEP film. Especially at the beginning when where the model transitions from the supports to the actual work piece. The least amount of the surface area in a given slice that has be pulled free of the FEP film the better.

This makes me really happy! Thank you for taking time to come back and leave a nice comment! Yessss indeed. I found out pretty quick that I prefer gloves over mixing and handling epoxy clay with my bare hands. (I've seen people use light oil on their hands to help alleviate sticking, but again... I like gloves. :) ) Thanks for watching!

Nomad is a remarkably capable and pretty intuitive bit of software and (I think) the most expensive app I've ever bought for my phone. Although absolutely and completely worth it.

I've really enjoyed going back and looking at your character designs - I'm gearing up to illustrate a kids' book I just finished writing and your process gave me some great ideas. Also: if you're looking for digital sculpting on PC you can get Sculptris, it's like Zbrush's baby brother. It's technically discontinued but it's free, still available and it works!
