Aves Apoxie Paste — Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive & Coating Compound
About This Product
Aves Apoxie Paste is a two-part epoxy adhesive and coating compound made by Aves Studio in the USA. Unlike Apoxie Sculpt, it is not a sculpting putty — it's a smooth, spreadable paste designed for bonding, sealing, coating, and laminating. Think of it as a high-performance epoxy adhesive that you can brush, spread, or trowel onto surfaces.
Mix equal parts of Part A and Part B to activate. The mixed paste has a creamy, spreadable consistency — much thinner and smoother than Apoxie Sculpt. It bonds permanently to most surfaces, cures rock-hard at room temperature in 24 hours, and can be sanded, drilled, and painted once cured.
Apoxie Paste is especially popular for coating foam (it hardens and protects without melting the foam), laminating fabric and paper over armatures, and creating smooth, durable surfaces over rough or porous substrates.
This Is Not Apoxie Sculpt
Apoxie Paste and Apoxie Sculpt are different products with different consistencies and use cases. Paste is thin, spreadable, and designed for coating and bonding. Sculpt is thick, clay-like, and designed for shaping and detailing.
If you need to sculpt, shape, or texture a form, choose Apoxie Sculpt instead. If you need to coat, seal, laminate, or bond, Apoxie Paste is the right tool.
What Can You Do With It?
COATING Harden and protect foam, papier-mâché, fabric, and porous surfaces. Creates a rigid, paintable shell.
BONDING Permanently join dissimilar materials — metal to wood, resin to foam, plastic to fabric, and more.
LAMINATING Soak fabric, paper, or tissue into the paste to create rigid, lightweight structural forms.
SMOOTHING Skim-coat rough surfaces to create a smooth, sandable base layer before painting.
COSPLAY Harden EVA foam props and armour. Apoxie Paste does not melt foam like polyester resins do.
REPAIRS Fill and seal cracks, seams, and joints on large models, props, and display pieces.

How to Use — Quick Guide
Mix — take equal amounts of Part A and Part B. Stir or knead together until the colour is completely uniform.
Apply — spread, brush, trowel, or skim the mixed paste onto your surface. For laminating, dip fabric or paper into the mixed paste and apply to the armature.
Smooth — use water on your fingers or a damp tool to smooth and even out the applied layer before cure.
Cure — leave for 24 hours at room temperature. Multiple thin coats can be applied, curing each layer between applications.
Finish — once cured, sand smooth and paint as needed. Accepts all hobby paints and primers.
Tips from the Hobby Community
▸ Thin coats build better — rather than one thick coat, apply two or three thin layers, curing each for 24 hours. This gives a stronger, smoother result.
▸ Wear nitrile gloves — epoxy compounds are best handled with gloves.
▸ Use separate tools — don't use your sculpting tools for paste work. The thinner consistency can contaminate tools and make them harder to clean.
▸ Works brilliantly on foam — cosplay and terrain builders use Apoxie Paste to harden EVA and polystyrene foam without the toxic fumes or melting risk of polyester resins.
▸ Clean tools with soap and water before the compound sets. Aves Finishing Solution handles stubborn residue.
▸ Store sealed and cool — keep lids tight for maximum shelf life.
Paste vs. Sculpt — Quick Comparison
Apoxie Paste
Thin, spreadable, creamy. Designed for coating, bonding, laminating, and sealing. Cannot be sculpted into shapes — it doesn't hold form. Best applied with a spatula, brush, or palette knife.
Apoxie Sculpt
Thick, clay-like, shapeable. Designed for sculpting, filling, conversions, and detail work. Holds form, holds texture, can be built up. Best used with fingers, sculpting tools, and silicone shapers.
Good to Know
⚠ This is not a sculpting compound. If you need to shape, texture, or build forms, use Apoxie Sculpt. Paste is for coating and bonding only.
⚠ It cures rigid. The coated surface will be hard and rigid once cured — there is no flex.
⚠ Use separate tools. The thinner consistency is harder to clean off sculpting tools. Keep a dedicated set for paste work.
⚠ Wear gloves. Non-toxic when cured and non-flammable, but skin contact during mixing and application should be avoided.
