Self-hardening epoxy clay with a clay-like texture for sculpting and restoration
Aves Apoxie Clay is a two-part epoxy clay that combines the workability of modelling clay with the strength and adhesion of epoxy. You knead equal parts A and B together for 2 minutes and then have 1 to 3 hours of working time. The clay hardens at room temperature without an oven and is fully cured after 24 hours, with 0 % shrinkage and a semi-gloss finish. Apoxie Clay has a slightly coarser texture than Apoxie Sculpt, which makes it well suited to larger objects. You can choose between Native and White.
Key benefits
- Clay-like consistency: holds detail and is easy to sculpt and smooth.
- Self-hardening: no oven needed, fully cured after 24 hours.
- 0 % shrinkage: no shrinking or cracking during curing.
- Strong adhesion: bonds to itself, other epoxies, porcelain, ceramics, metal, vinyl, hard plastics, foam, fibreglass and wood.
- Water resistant: also suitable for outdoor displays and freeze-thaw stable.
- Easy to finish: once cured it can be sanded, drilled, tapped, sawn, turned and painted.
Typical applications
- ✓ Sculpting and embellishing
- ✓ Miniatures, models and customising
- ✓ Seam filling and restoration
- ✓ Outdoor displays
- ✓ Mixed media, assemblage and prototyping
Processing
- Wear suitable gloves, for example nitrile.
- Take equal parts A and B and knead for 2 minutes until the colour is uniform.
- Let the mass rest for about 5 minutes; it will then be easier to handle. If it is still too sticky, wait a little longer. The longer you wait, the less the clay sticks and the sharper the detail.
- Sculpt within 1 to 3 hours. Smooth with a wet finger, brush or sculpting tool.
- Let the clay cure at room temperature and do not bake it. After 24 hours it is fully hard.
- Then sand, drill, stain or paint as required.
- Remove uncured residue with soap and water or with Aves Finishing Solution.
Points of attention
- ✓ Rub a little olive oil on your hands beforehand and dip your tools in cold water; this reduces sticking.
- ✓ According to Aves the product contains crystalline silica. Always wear a dust mask when sanding cured clay and do not breathe in the dust.
- ✓ The unmixed components may cause an allergic skin reaction. Avoid skin contact.
- ✓ Store closed in a dry place between 6 and 28 °C. The product is freeze-thaw stable.
