Hey everyone- where can I buy Apoxie sculpt or Magic Sculpt at a retail level? Im searching Joanns,Michaels, Hob Lob etc to no avail on their websites to see if they have it in store.
I have also heard of using plumbers putty for similar effects...any thoughts? Anyone use it for sculpting? I am adding the product onto a mask....Got some ideas from MadCity Haunt vid (thanks!!) that he posted here on the forum. People will not be wearing the mask.
Any help greatly appreciated....thanks in advance .....MM

Check ebay for Apoxie Sculpt. I wouldn't suggest plumbers putty, it will remain soft. Plumbing patch compound might work, it hardens.

I bought mine on Amazon, I think it was $17 for 1 lb.

Dang; that's more expensive than porterhouse steak !

 

[ScaryMars]

True! But i don't think a porterhouse would work as well with the "modifications" I'm doing to some my little ponies

I love me some Apoxie Sculpt! Thank you P5!
I've never found it in a retail setting.
I get mine on Amazon. Free shipping if you have Prime.
I use it on all my skull modifications. Can't say enough good things about it.
I'ts a little heavy is all. I'll never use clay again, after using Apoxie Sculpt.

I've gone with Amazon, too. I just stumbled across the stuff last year, and I love it! It's very good for a huge variety of uses.

Ok, ok, If everyone is buying this stuff I have to get some too.


I have no clue what it is or what I would use it for but I know I have to have some!

PIB has used free form air product - (yeah I know I chuckled too...somebody would pay $ for air) Has anyone tried this one and how is it different from apoxie or magic sculpt? I would guess from the name that it might be lighter when dry? PIB if you see this post, please share your insights on it.

She recommended that product to me as well. I haven't had chance to yet. I'll tell her to pop over to discuss same!

 

[ooojen]

Yeah, it's lighter, and more expensive. I'm waiting to hear PIB's review, too. I have it in the "Saved for Later" part of my Amazon shopping cart while waiting to hear the verdict.
oaklawn Creamatory-- I know you just might have been being a bit facetious, but-- for anyone who hasn't worked with the stuff, it's a two part epoxy putty. It has great adhesion, like epoxy, but in a mold-able putty form. Workability is a bit like polymer clay. It stays workable for approximately an hour before it sets up, and then it gets quite hard.
I just used some the other day to cap off some sharp wires on a costume piece and keep them from poking through. It has lots of applications besides sculpting-- though I do love it for a sculpt.

Bobzilla and Pumpkin5 turned me on to Apoxy Sculpt. Now I could never ever EVER do with out!!!!! It is so versatile and I have used it not only to create but also to repair. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
I got mine on Amazon too.

You guys will have to wait on a review of the lighter weight product. I just bought some based on the recommendations of others who have gone to that in place of Apoxie Sculpt. I imagine it is useful when you don't want to add as much weight to a project. Apoxie Sculpt is fairly heavy.

I have used Apoxie Sculpt though, and absolutely love it. Here is an example of what I did with it, following a tutorial on YouTube by Brad Goodspeed on making skulls a little more scary.

love it!! Ok I can wait for the critique...but only for about a week or 2.

Now she needs an intervention......

Does anyone specialize in Apoxy Sculpt addiction???


Anyone???

Here is a pretty detailed review of the Free Form Air.
I'm becoming increasingly more interested in this because of the light weight aspects.

I was checking retail prices of the free form and ran across this. I have used the apoxy sculpt quite a bit but was interested in trying the free form air. Hmm. Think I'll hold off till I see what some of you have to say. The trial size for $25 seems a little pricey for a trial to me. Is there a free form air and sculpt or are these the same thing?

I am a big fan of Apoxie Sculpt (thank you Bradgoodspeed for the introduction) I use it on EVERYTHING I make. It is very forgiving, a little water on your fingertips allows you to blend edges and introduce new product on top of dry. Use it once, and you will be hooked. It's two part and hardens in about an hour or two. Once cured, you can sand it, drill it, do most anything with it. I have even used it to repair my brick columns after a landscape truck hit it. I cannot sing it's praises loud enough. The only down side, it is heavy, but I have dropped a few skulls I made using it and no damage whatsoever. It's the shizzle! And I buy mine at Amazon.com.

 

[bobzilla]

I ordered some of the Free Form Air.
I'll post a review here once I try it out.

I tried out the Free Form Air today, using it to sculpt on a foam wig head. I was able to get the same effect as I do with the Apoxie Sculpt, only lighter weight. The medium itself is a bit different to use. First, when you combine the two parts together, it is very crumbly and hard to get to mix. It doesn't stick to the foam wig head very well, but it does stick to your hands, so use gloves. Once you get it on the surface and start working with it, dabbing and smoothing it with a little water, it does start to do what you want. It started drying in about an hour.
