Anyone used Fixit-Sculpt?

I was thinking of buying some Apoxie Sculpt. I have no sculpting talent; I would use it to give a bisque ceramic some cosmetic enhancement, and try to fix a porcelain hawk statue of my mom’s for her. I might get brave enough to dry and give minor mends to a WIndstone, but not too sure of that. I could paint match on the hawk; I don’t airbrush and the peacock colormatching scares me. While I was surfing Apoxie Sculpt tutorials, some mentioned a brand new product by the same company called Fixit Sculpt. The people in the tutorials were very high on the Fixit Sculpt, liked it better than Apoxie. Said it was stronger/sturdier and a little easier to work with. So before I go out and waste money on either, has anyone here used both Fixit Sculpt and Apoxie Sculpt, and can offer pros/cons on them?

Hello 🙂

I use Apoxy-sculpt for all of my repairs, I have’nt tried any others because I have been happy with the Apoxy-sculpt
Apoxy-sculp is hard to work with right after being mixed, its far to soft…. I usually mix the 50/50 parts and walk away
for 30min. – 1hr… before working with it.
I like AP because you can sand it, grind it, and paint it…(even when its wet)… and it dries rock hard!

Good luck with your repairs 🙂

I use magic sculpt witch is just another resin sculpt. If you add a little water it works just like normal clay.

I’ve only used Apoxie-sculpt and I am a rank amateur, but once it sits for a while as mentioned, it is easy to work with and you’ll get good results. If I can, anybody can. lol

I have also used apoxie sculpt and apoxie clay. They are both made by Aves http://www.avesstudio.com/. I prefer the Apoxie Clay because I like its texture better, but they both are relatively simple to work with. I’d suggest practicing with a small amount first. Try to sculpt something small with it, just so you can get used to how the stuff works. I use it in my sculpts often. Mostly for the tiny bits, like claws and horns 😉 . It’s super hard and sturdy when it has cured.

I’ve messed around a little bit with Apoxie Sculpt and I think I like it, although what I know about sculpting you could put in a thimble and still have room enough for your finger. My one unpleasant surprise with it is that it is very sticky! Even when it’s setting up pretty solidly, boy, don’t drop it on anything or it will try to bond instantly with it. It has tried to eat the wooden dowel I used to smooth it. I made the mistake of setting a bit down on a paper plate to harden, and it’s going to take sandpaper to get the paper off now. Although it does bond with flat-back crystals very readily while still sticky, without needing any glue. Just be sure you drop the crystal exactly where you want it the first time, ’cause it doesn’t wanna give it back! 🙄
