| 💎 | Self-Hardening — No Oven Needed Cures rock-hard at room temperature in 24 hours. No baking, no UV lamp, no heat gun. |
| 🕐 | 1–3 Hour Working Time Generous open time lets you sculpt, shape, and refine details without rushing. Far more forgiving than fast-set putties. |
| 🎯 | 0% Shrinkage, 0% Cracking What you sculpt is what you get. Holds fine detail through the entire cure with no distortion. |
| 💧 | Smooths with Water Wet your fingers or a tool and the surface smooths out beautifully — no sanding needed before cure. |
| 🌧️ | Waterproof & Freeze-Thaw Stable Suitable for indoor and outdoor projects — terrain, garden sculptures, outdoor display models. |
| 🔗 | Bonds to Almost Anything Adheres to plastic, resin, metal, wood, ceramic, glass, foam, and more — no primer needed. |
This is the 113 g (¼ lb) tub set — a compact format that gives you enough material to test Apoxie Sculpt on a few projects before committing to the full 454 g (1 lb) or 1.81 kg (4 lb) packs.
Perfect for first-time buyers, small repair jobs, detail work, miniature basing touch-ups, or anyone who only needs a small amount for a specific project. Same formula, same quality — just a smaller quantity.
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 113 g (¼ lb) tub set in Black. Each set contains one small tub of Part A and one small tub of Part B. The black colour is useful when you want a dark base tone — ideal for terrain, rocky textures, dark creature sculpts, or any project where a black starting point saves painting time.
Apoxie Sculpt is available in 12 intermixable colours. The Black variant is popular with hobbyists and modellers because:
⚫ Dark terrain and basing — rocks, rubble, cave walls, and dungeon scenery start with a convincing dark tone without needing a black primer coat.
⚫ Shadow and depth — sculpted details in recesses naturally read as shadow, giving immediate visual depth even before painting.
⚫ Colour mixing — mix Black Part A with any other Apoxie Sculpt Part A colour to create custom dark shades, then add equal Part B to activate.
⚫ Less visible residue — on dark models and bases, any small traces of uncured material blend in rather than standing out.

| 1. | Mix — Take equal amounts of Part A and Part B. Knead together thoroughly until the colour is completely uniform with no streaks. |
| 2. | Sculpt — Shape, texture, and detail your piece. You have 1–3 hours of working time. The material becomes firmer as it cures — the 1-hour mark is often the sweet spot for fine detail work. |
| 3. | Smooth — Use water on your fingers or tools to smooth surfaces before cure. Cold water helps reduce sticking and preserve detail. |
| 4. | Cure — Leave for 24 hours at room temperature. No oven, no UV, no heat needed. |
| 5. | Finish — Once cured, sand, drill, carve, or paint as needed. Accepts all hobby paints and primers. |
| 👉 | Use cold water to reduce sticking and help hold fine detail while sculpting. |
| 👉 | Wear nitrile gloves — especially with Black. The pigment can stain hands, tools, and surfaces if you’re not careful. |
| 👉 | Wait for the 1-hour mark if you want to add fine details — the material firms up slightly and holds sharper impressions than when freshly mixed. |
| 👉 | The ¼ lb size is ideal for testing — this pack gives you enough to try the material across a few sessions before deciding on a larger quantity. |
| 👉 | Clean tools promptly — black pigment is harder to remove once it sets. Soap and water work while wet; Aves Safety Solvent handles stubborn residue. |
| 👉 | Store sealed and cool — old stock can develop a surface film. Keep lids tight for maximum shelf life. |
The hobby world has several two-part putties available. Here’s an honest look at where Apoxie Sculpt fits:
✅ 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 after curing, which is better for parts that need to bend — armour straps, cloaks, organic shapes. If you need rigid and sandable, choose Apoxie Sculpt. If you need elastic and tough, Green Stuff is your go-to.
✅ 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. If you want ultra-smooth sculpting, Apoxie Sculpt wins. If you want cheap and cheerful filling, Milliput does the job.
✅ vs. Aves Apoxie Clay: Clay has a more traditional clay-like feel — grainier and less tacky. Apoxie Sculpt is putty-like and holds shape better. Choose based on which working texture you prefer.
It cures rigid. If you need a flexible end result (e.g. cloaks, straps, thin parts that might flex), Green Stuff or a flexible putty is a better choice.
Black pigment stains. Coloured Apoxie Sculpt — especially Black — can leave marks on hands, clothing, and work surfaces. Wear gloves and protect your workspace.
The working time is a strength — and a commitment. You need to plan your session. Once mixed, Parts A and B will set in 24 hours whether you’ve finished or not.
Texture changes during cure. The putty feels different at 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour into cure. This is normal — many sculptors actually prefer working at the firmer stage for detailed work.
