Aves Apoxie Sculpt 454g (1lb) Silver Grey — Two-Part Epoxy Modelling Compound
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 Silver Grey. Each set contains one 227 g (8 oz) tub of Part A and one 227 g (8 oz) tub of Part B. Silver Grey is a neutral mid-tone grey — the closest thing to a "default modelling putty" colour. If you've used Milliput Silver Grey before, this sits in a similar visual range but with the smoother, longer-working properties of Apoxie Sculpt. A little goes a long way — hobbyists regularly report that 454 g lasts through dozens of projects.
Why Choose Silver Grey?
◆ The universal sculpting colour — neutral grey is the tone most sculptors and modellers are used to working with. It shows form, shadow, and detail without any colour bias.
◆ Stone, concrete, and urban terrain — ideal for city ruins, paving, walls, pillars, gravestones, and industrial scenery that looks convincing even without paint.
◆ Metal and machinery — the grey tone is a natural starting point for sculpting mechanical parts, armour plates, weapons, vehicles, and sci-fi details.
◆ Blends with grey plastic — most plastic miniature sprues are grey. Silver Grey Apoxie Sculpt sits right alongside them, making gap fills, conversions, and extensions look seamless before priming.
◆ Colour mixing — mix Silver Grey Part A with any other Apoxie Sculpt Part A colour to mute, cool, or desaturate it, then add equal Part B to activate. Useful for weathered and aged effects.

How to Use — Quick Guide
Mix — take equal amounts of Part A and Part B. Knead together thoroughly until the colour is completely uniform with no streaks.
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.
Smooth — use water on your fingers or tools to smooth surfaces before cure. Cold water helps reduce sticking.
Cure — leave for 24 hours at room temperature. No oven, no UV, no heat needed.
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. Aves recommends this in their own instructions.
▸ 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 Silver Grey
The most direct comparison. Both are grey, both cure hard, both can be sanded. Milliput has a shorter working time and a grittier, more granular texture. Apoxie Sculpt feels smoother in hand and is easier to blend on surfaces. Milliput tends to be cheaper per gram. Ultra-smooth sculpting with a long open time? Apoxie. Quick affordable filler you already know? 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.
