Three pounds of Native Apoxie Clay is aimed at studios producing larger figures, repeated assemblage work or multiple detailed pieces in the same tan-brown body. The mid-tone gives sculpted volume and shadow a readable working surface, while the material’s fine grain carries wrinkles, fingerprints and pressed texture. Divide the job into batches that can be placed during its 1–3-hour workable period. No oven is involved: it hardens on its own and reaches full cure at 24 hours.
When a fresh batch is initially too sticky, Aves says to let it stand for 20 minutes before returning to the work.
Aves Finishing Solution is the specified aid for feathering small features; plain water is the option for broad areas.
Sand or abrade cured clay only with a dust mask and adequate ventilation.
Retrieve each part with its own tool and mix until no colour variation remains.

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.
