Hi and thanks for a great product!!!

I wanted to tell you that I have for the first time created something completely from Apoxie Sculpt. I've had the product for years but have been afraid to try it. I've been using polymer clay for over 20 years, and the Apoxie Sculpt felt so different that I would only use it for little things and armatures . . .

Subject: Re: Figures: Has anyone tried Apoxie sculpt?

I totally Agree. We have been using Apoxie sculpt for many years here at Disney and I have been using it on model kits for a long LONG  time. I love the consistency and the long working time. Plus it's VERY strong, has a great bond, smooths effortlessly and for such strength has great sanding and drilling capability. It's no where near  as messy as Milliputt and has a softer texture then magic sculpt, which I rather like. A MAJOR plus for me is the relative cost between it and it's competitors. In other words you get more for the money.  It has a very good shelf life, can be tinted with acrylic paint (don't use too much paint or you'll get a rather gooey mess  a couple drops will suffice), it's great for sculpting when left to sit  for awhile and holds detail very well. I highly recommend it! Best epoxy putty on the market IMHO and I have tons of different brands that I have "tested".
