Aves Apoxie Sculpt 454g (1lb) Red — Two-Part Epoxy Modelling Compound
About This Product
Aves Apoxie Sculpt is a two-part epoxy compound made by Aves Studio in the USA. Mix equal parts of Part A and Part B together, and you get a smooth, clay-like putty that you can sculpt, shape, texture, and tool for 1–3 hours before it begins to set. After 24 hours it cures into a rock-hard, permanent material with a semi-gloss finish.
It works like modelling clay but bonds like an epoxy — meaning it sticks permanently to most surfaces without needing primer or separate adhesive. Once cured, it can be sanded, drilled, carved, tapped, filed, and painted just like any rigid material.
This is the 454 g (1 lb) tub set in Red. Each set contains one 227 g (8 oz) tub of Part A and one 227 g (8 oz) tub of Part B. Red is a bold, saturated tone — a strong choice for lava and magma terrain, rust and weathering effects, or any project where the base material colour does the heavy lifting before paint. Mix Red with Brown for deep oxide tones, or with Yellow and Orange for fiery gradients. All 12 Apoxie Sculpt colours are intermixable.
Why Choose Red?
◆ Lava, magma, and volcanic terrain — sculpt molten rivers, eruption effects, and glowing rock formations where the red base reads as heat and danger without any painting.
◆ Rust and weathering effects — build corroded pipes, rusted machinery, abandoned industrial scenery. A black or brown wash over cured red Apoxie creates instant convincing corrosion.
◆ Bold statement sculpts — red commands attention. Use it for decorative pieces, display sculptures, and art objects where the colour itself is part of the design.
◆ Fire and warm-spectrum mixing — Red Part A mixed with Yellow Part A gives orange and amber. Red with Orange gives deep flame. Red with Brown gives rich oxide earth. Add equal Part B to activate.
◆ High visibility while working — the saturated red tone makes it easy to see sculpted details, tool marks, and surface transitions during your working session.

How to Use — Quick Guide
Mix — take equal amounts of Part A and Part B. Knead together thoroughly until the colour is completely uniform with no streaks.
Sculpt — shape, texture, and detail your piece. You have 1–3 hours of working time. The 1-hour mark is often the sweet spot for fine detail.
Smooth — use water on your fingers or tools to smooth surfaces before cure. Cold water helps reduce sticking.
Cure — leave for 24 hours at room temperature. No oven, no UV, no heat needed.
Finish — once cured, sand, drill, carve, or paint as needed. Accepts all hobby paints and primers.
Tips from the Hobby Community
▸ Use cold water to reduce sticking and help hold fine detail while sculpting.
▸ Wear nitrile gloves — epoxy compounds are best handled with gloves. Aves recommends this in their own instructions.
▸ Wait for the 1-hour mark if you want to add fine details — the material firms up slightly and holds sharper impressions.
▸ Mix only what you need — once combined, Parts A and B will cure whether you use them or not. Portion sensibly.
▸ Red is perfect for lava and rust terrain — sculpt magma flows, volcanic rock, or rusted industrial scenery where the red base does most of the work. A light drybrush of orange or black over cured red Apoxie creates instant depth.
▸ Store sealed and cool — old stock can develop a surface film. Keep lids tight for maximum shelf life.
How Does It Compare?
vs. Green Stuff (Kneadatite)
Apoxie Sculpt gives a much longer working time (1–3 hours vs. ~30 min), smooths more easily with water, and cures rock-hard. Green Stuff stays slightly flexible — better for armour straps, cloaks, organic shapes. Rigid and sandable? Apoxie. Elastic and tough? Green Stuff.
vs. Milliput
Both cure hard and can be sanded. Milliput has a shorter working time and a grittier texture. Apoxie Sculpt feels smoother in hand and is easier to blend on surfaces. Milliput tends to be cheaper per gram. Ultra-smooth sculpting? Apoxie. Quick affordable filler? Milliput.
vs. Polymer Clay (Sculpey, FIMO)
Polymer clay needs an oven and doesn't bond to other materials. Apoxie Sculpt cures at room temperature, bonds permanently, and is far more durable. For anything that needs to stick, Apoxie is the better choice.
Good to Know
⚠ It cures rigid. If you need a flexible end result (cloaks, straps, thin parts that flex), Green Stuff or a flexible putty is a better choice.
⚠ The working time is a strength — and a commitment. Once mixed, Parts A and B will set in 24 hours whether you've finished or not.
⚠ Wear gloves. Non-toxic when cured and non-flammable, but skin contact during mixing should be avoided.
⚠ Colour pigment is in Part A only. Part B is always the same across all colours. Mix different Part A colours together before adding Part B to create custom shades.
