Fixit is the Aves repair compound: a two-part epoxy putty, kneaded from matching portions of its A and B parts, that fills, bonds, seals and rebuilds. This 1.36 kg (3 lb) pack is Ceramic White, the pale tone for porcelain, ceramics and light-coloured parts. Allow yourself one to three hours to work it into a crack or rebuild a missing piece; it then hardens without baking to a rock-hard, slightly semi-gloss surface in 24 hours.
Knead the two parts for about two minutes until the colour is even, then leave it five minutes, which makes it easier to handle
0% shrinkage and no cracking, so a filled chip stays level with the surface around it
Waterproof, UV and fuel resistant and freeze-thaw stable; it will set even when submerged
Fully cured, it can be sanded, drilled, tapped and turned without chipping or flaking, and it takes paint wet or cured
Why Ceramic White?
Pick Ceramic White for mending porcelain, china, white resin or pale figurines, anywhere a darker filler would show. Light paint covers it easily, and on its plain pale surface you can judge fine detail as it takes shape.
The 3 lb kit
This is the bulk size of our Fixit range, for terrain boards, large props, clubs and workshops. It comes as two 680 g jars, Part A and Part B. Keep both lids tight; the putty survives freezing and thawing, so a cold workshop will not spoil it.
Worth knowing
It cures rigid. Not the right choice for parts that need to flex; use a flexible putty for those.
It is a repair putty first. For fine figure sculpting, Apoxie Sculpt or Fixit Sculpt are more pleasant to work.
About the colour: Expect a warm off-white, closer to old china than to bright optical white; on glazed white pieces, plan on a touch of paint or glaze to hide the repair completely.
Know where to stop. Do not rely on it for safety-critical or load-bearing parts, or for pressurised gas or fuel systems. We have no food-contact certification for it, so keep it off surfaces that touch food or drink.
Use it sensibly. Wear gloves when mixing, and a dust mask and eye protection when sanding cured Fixit, as the dust contains crystalline silica. Keep away from children.

Notes · Q & A
Apoxie Sculpt, Apoxie Clay or Fixit — which Aves compound do I need?+
All three are two-part epoxy compounds mixed in equal amounts that harden on their own, with no oven or kiln. Apoxie Sculpt is the smooth, all-round sculpting compound in a wide choice of colours. Apoxie Clay has a fine, clay-like grain for detail and texture. Fixit is the firmer repair formula, heat rated to 260 °C and resistant to fuel, for fills, bonds and rebuilt parts.
How do I mix it, and how long can I work it?+
Take equal amounts of Part A and Part B, ideally wearing nitrile gloves, and knead for about two minutes until the colour is completely even with no streaks; under-mixed putty leaves soft spots. Working time varies by product, from about one hour to three, and is listed on each product page. All of them reach full cure in 24 hours.
How do I smooth it, and what cleans it up?+
While it is still workable, smooth or texture the surface with a little water on a finger, brush or tool, or with Aves Safety Solvent, which also lifts fingerprints; Apoxie Clay is smoothed with the solvent. Hands and tools clean up with soap and water before the compound sets. Once cured, only sanding or carving will remove it.
Can I sand, drill and paint it once cured, and what precautions should I take?+
After the full cure it can be sanded, filed, drilled, tapped or turned without chipping, and it takes paint wet or cured. It does not shrink, and it is waterproof and freeze-thaw stable. Wear gloves when mixing, since the uncured compound can cause a skin allergy and eye irritation, and a dust mask and safety glasses when sanding.
