Native in the 1 lb working pack gives figure sculptors enough Apoxie Clay for sustained use without moving into the bulk format. The tan-brown body is useful when judging planes, folds and facial forms because a mid-tone reveals light and shadow without the glare of white. Its fine grain is suited to close sculpted detail and impressions. Work remains open for 1–3 hours; the clay then self-hardens without baking and reaches full cure in 24 hours. If you have not used it before, start with the ¼ lb Native pack.
Aves instructs users to knead for two minutes to a uniform colour, followed by a five-minute pause for better handling.
For fine feathering, Aves recommends Finishing Solution specifically for Apoxie Clay, while water is reserved for broad smoothing.
Use disposable gloves and a different retrieval tool for each unmixed part.
Its minimal self-levelling helps small impressions remain defined while the material is workable.

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.
