Product overview

Fixit Ceramic White is Aves Studio's two-part repair compound: the same amount of each part, kneaded for about two minutes, gives a smooth, firm putty that fills, bonds and seals almost anything. A working window of one to three hours lets you push it into place, shape it and smooth it with a wet finger before it self-hardens, with no baking. After 24 hours it is rock hard with a semi-gloss surface, ready to sand, drill, tap or machine without chipping.

Waterproof once cured, and it will harden even when submerged
Heat rated to 260 °C (500 °F); stands up to UV light and fuel
0% shrinkage and no cracking as it cures
Takes any type of paint, applied wet or after curing

Why Ceramic White?

For mending porcelain, glazed pottery or anything pale, this is the shade to pick: a darker putty would ghost through a thin coat of paint. Its light, neutral body also makes shadows easy to read while you shape, and it needs little covering under pale colour schemes.

The 113 g (1/4 lb) pack

The smallest pack: 113 g in total, Part A plus Part B. It covers a good run of small repairs, gap fills and conversions, and it is the sensible way to try Fixit before buying in bulk. The 1 lb (454 g) and 3 lb (1.36 kg) packs hold the same formula.

Worth knowing

It cures rigid, so it is not the right choice for parts that need to flex.
It is a firm repair putty first. You can sculpt with it, but for fine figure work Apoxie Sculpt is the smoother material.
Fine for hobby, craft, home and workshop repairs, but do not rely on it for safety-critical or load-bearing parts, or for pressurised gas or fuel systems.
We hold no food-contact certification for it, so keep it off surfaces that touch food or drink.
Wear gloves when mixing, and a dust mask and safety glasses when sanding: dust from the cured putty contains crystalline silica. Keep out of reach of children.
This is a soft, slightly warm white rather than a brilliant one, so a mend on white glazed china will usually still want a dab of paint or glaze to vanish completely.

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.
