Large busts, armature-based sculptures and mould-filling work are the practical territory for the 4 lb Green format. It is the biggest size we carry, giving workshop users room to prepare multiple controlled mixes without treating every portion as scarce. The full 1814 g comes as a pair of 2 lb tubs, with Part A in one and Part B in the other. Colour within the working mass helps contours stand apart from neutral or primed surrounding areas before the usual painting stage.
Aves specifies a 1–3-hour interval for working the combined putty.
Start with matching amounts of Parts A and B at 50/50, kneading them together for two minutes to complete activation.
The material sets through self-hardening rather than baking and finishes its full cure at 24 hours.
Leave any sanding or drilling until the whole curing period is over.
Its published cured properties are hard, waterproof and 0% shrinkage.
To widen the available palette, blend Green with a second Part A colour before adding an equal quantity of Part B; the resulting colour becomes integral to the cured mass.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between Green Stuff and Milliput-type putties?+
Green Stuff is flexible and springy, holding fine sculpted detail like cloth and cabling. Milliput-type putties are harder-setting and sand smooth once cured, which makes them better for gap-filling and surfaces you want to blend flat. Many sculptors mix the two.
How do I stop epoxy putty sticking to my tools and fingers?+
Keep a little water on the tool and your fingertips as a release; the putty won't grab a wet surface. Work in good light and let very tacky putty firm up for a few minutes before shaping fine detail.
How do I get the mixing ratio right?+
Most epoxy putties cure at a 1:1 mix of the two parts by volume, kneaded until the colour is fully even with no streaks. Under-mixing leaves soft patches that never fully harden, so mix longer than feels necessary.
How do I fill a seam gap cleanly without losing nearby detail?+
Press a small amount of putty into the gap, then wipe the excess back with a wet tool or a cotton bud before it cures, leaving putty only in the recess. Cleaning up wet saves sanding over detail later.
