    I have to tell you that this video was super helpful to me. I am working on an outside garden project and just found out that I could use apoxie for the adhesive and double bonus, it also acts like a grout. From all you said, I am going to try it, except I'll do it on a small ball or object. I will be using tile or stained glass. I'm actually looking forward to trying it thanks to your video. Well done and described and many thanks.

What do you think. I am only going to get the 1lb size of whatever colors I decide. I have seen people just use the apoxie sculpt for their jewellery and not grout which means needing more options. I also read in their site where you can add acrylic or oil paints to white to make custom colors. What are your thoughts? Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions 🥰

    I haven't used Apoxie yet. Now after watching your video, I wonder since it's a clay base, can you use it free form style with no substrate? For example, make a rope out of the Apoxie, lay it out on wax paper or parchment, shape it, add your choice of tesserae and let it dry. 3D flowers come to mind also, LOL! That is all...I need coffee! 🙃🙃🙃
