About This Product

Aves Apoxie Sculpt is a two-part epoxy compound made by Aves Studio in the USA. Mix equal parts of Part A and Part B together, and you get a smooth, clay-like putty that you can sculpt, shape, texture, and tool for 1–3 hours before it begins to set. After 24 hours it cures into a rock-hard, permanent material with a semi-gloss finish.

It works like modelling clay but bonds like an epoxy — meaning it sticks permanently to most surfaces without needing primer or separate adhesive. Once cured, it can be sanded, drilled, carved, tapped, filed, and painted just like any rigid material.

This is the 454 g (1 lb) tub set in Bronze. Each set contains one 227 g (8 oz) tub of Part A and one 227 g (8 oz) tub of Part B. Bronze is a warm, dark metallic-earth tone — useful both as a working colour that shows detail clearly and as a base tone for projects where a metallic or earthy finish is the goal. A little goes a long way — hobbyists regularly report that 454 g lasts through dozens of projects.

Why Choose Bronze?

◆ Faux-metal finishes — ideal for sculpting statues, trophies, armour details, relics, and decorative metalwork that looks convincing even before painting.

◆ Warm terrain tones — the earthy bronze tone works well for desert bases, ancient ruins, temple floors, sandstone features, and weathered surfaces.

◆ Detail visibility — the mid-dark warm tone shows sculpted textures and fine lines clearly while you work, without the harshness of black or the glare of white.

◆ Colour mixing — mix Bronze Part A with any other Apoxie Sculpt Part A colour to create custom earth tones, warm metallics, or aged patina shades, then add equal Part B to activate.

◆ Less painting needed — for display pieces, props, or terrain where a bronze/copper look is the end goal, the cured colour may only need a wash or drybrush to finish.

How to Use — Quick Guide

1
Mix — take equal amounts of Part A and Part B. Knead together thoroughly until the colour is completely uniform with no streaks.

2
Sculpt — shape, texture, and detail your piece. You have 1–3 hours of working time. The 1-hour mark is often the sweet spot for fine detail.

3
Smooth — use water on your fingers or tools to smooth surfaces before cure. Cold water helps reduce sticking.

4
Cure — leave for 24 hours at room temperature. No oven, no UV, no heat needed.

5
Finish — once cured, sand, drill, carve, or paint as needed. Accepts all hobby paints and primers.

Tips from the Hobby Community

▸ Use cold water to reduce sticking and help hold fine detail while sculpting.

▸ Wear nitrile gloves — epoxy compounds are best handled with gloves. Coloured variants like Bronze can leave pigment on skin and tools.

▸ Wait for the 1-hour mark if you want to add fine details — the material firms up slightly and holds sharper impressions.

▸ Mix only what you need — once combined, Parts A and B will cure whether you use them or not. Portion sensibly.

▸ Clean tools with soap and water before the compound sets. Aves Finishing Solution handles stubborn residue.

▸ Store sealed and cool — old stock can develop a surface film. Keep lids tight for maximum shelf life.

How Does It Compare?

vs. Green Stuff (Kneadatite)

Apoxie Sculpt gives a much longer working time (1–3 hours vs. ~30 min), smooths more easily with water, and cures rock-hard. Green Stuff stays slightly flexible — better for armour straps, cloaks, organic shapes. Rigid and sandable? Apoxie. Elastic and tough? Green Stuff.

vs. Milliput

Both cure hard and can be sanded. Milliput has a shorter working time and grittier texture. Apoxie Sculpt feels smoother and blends more easily. Milliput is cheaper per gram. Ultra-smooth sculpting? Apoxie. Quick affordable filling? Milliput.

vs. Polymer Clay (Sculpey, FIMO)

Polymer clay needs an oven and doesn't bond to other materials. Apoxie Sculpt cures at room temperature, bonds permanently, and is far more durable. For anything that needs to stick, Apoxie is the better choice.

Good to Know

⚠ It cures rigid. If you need a flexible end result (cloaks, straps, thin parts that flex), Green Stuff or a flexible putty is a better choice.

⚠ The working time is a strength — and a commitment. Once mixed, Parts A and B will set in 24 hours whether you've finished or not.

⚠ Wear gloves. Non-toxic when cured and non-flammable, but skin contact during mixing should be avoided.

⚠ Texture changes during cure. Feels different at 10, 30, and 60 minutes. Normal — many sculptors prefer the firmer stage.
