Yeeeh. Wouldn't make a habit of that. The vapors can be no bueno for your lung tissues and it won't show up until multiple exposures. It took THREE MONTHS of use before the toxic effect was noticeable and by then it was too late. Small chance to occur, but I'm living proof that it can and does and when it does, it lasts for weeks. And trust me when I tell you you do not want this shit messing with your lungs in a post Covid world. It's been a f'ing nightmare and when it's flaring up, (Have been hospitalized on numerous occasions unable to breathe) and it turns my hands into something that vaguely resembles a deleted scene from a SAW movie. BE SAFE. Were a vapor rated mask when working with two part epoxies and resins. It's worth the precaution. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH how slowly this reaction can take place. I used Apoxie Sculpt several times a week for MONTHS before it ever became an issue, but thats different for everybody and once it's there, it's there for life. It took me additional time to even understand what was happening, because I had no reason to suspect the resin I had been using without issue for months, leading me to further accidental exposure. Definitely not trying to scare people away from it, however. It's an incredibly rewarding medium but respect it and handle it as safely as possible. Remember that a lot of the FINER details can be sanded and carved out AFTER its safely cured as well.

Longtime user here. Some useful tips on how to work with this. I mainly use it for customizing Breyer and artist resincast modelhorses. - When using gloves: Find a pair that fits like literally like a glove. I see sooo many people with gloves twice the size they really need. Seriously, tight nitrile gloves are the best! Measure across your knuckles and match that measurement to the size. Try several sizes because sometimes comapnies have their own ideas. - Also: Do not mix more than you need. It goes off semi-fast and is a liiiitttle sticky first. Use a few drops of water to make it smoother. - When done, place a small piece of plastic bag in each tub, (like 2 x 2 ") on top of the clay and a cube of kitchen sponge that is slightly moist. Moisture will ensure your Apoxie stays pliable and smooth to use. - When you are a beginner, start with the SMALL tubs and in "Natural " version. The coloured ones actually sortof acts differently. The brown version is... WEIRD. ;-D - It can be smoothed down using various old brushes and similar tools. - Wipe EVERYTHING you have used when done, don't let it go down the drain and clog the pipes. it hardens via chemical reaction, so if a decent piece gets lodged in the drains, it'll settle there. ;-D (Disclaimer: I am a user, not an expert. )

Ace of Clay: "Wow I hate this clay I never really want to use it a bunch in the future, it's garbage." *proceeds to do some research on it rather than diving straight into it and letting the material overwhelm him* Also Ace of Clay: "Y'know, I really love this, it's sooooo smooth, very nice.

It's always tough when you step out of your comfort zone and try new materials and methods, but I'd say this time around you did great!

Won't be tomorrow. Will be months down the road, unfortunately. And it will look like horrifically dry and rashy skin covered in small/large cuts and lesions that crack and open every time you flex your fingers. The resin causes almost a moisture resistant barrier on the surface of your skin as well, so lotions/vasoline/etc... are almost completely ineffective. And thats ANY area of your skin thats exposed to even the vapors, because at that point, the toxic reaction has already triggered. Won't be easily washed off either and can effect anywhere else on your body that you touch with the affected area (my left eyelid practically fused shut for a week on light vapor exposure and yeah, it was covered in cuts as well).

Every time you said "Siri" Siri interrupted the video to ask what I wanted.

Your initial discomfort and lack of enthusiasm the first day is something I think many people struggle with when starting something new. It's nice to see that you kept going and didn't give up after your initial bad impressions. After working with the material more, I wonder if you'll end up liking it more than polymer clay? 👀

Definitely NEED to sculpt the whole body! Can't wait to see it completed!

Epoxy putty/ clays are an awesome thing to work with. I’m excited to see the finished dragon.

You should pose him sitting like a gargoyle sense it’s gonna be hard as a rock

"I hope I'm not allergic to this..." *touches it to skin* Now THAT is some crap I would do...lmao! You don't look like you feel well already...

Most of what I do is various life-sized ghouls and goblins for haunted houses, and Apoxie Sculpt is great for chonking in large structural details on extant bases... like say you had a big ol' plastic skull and you wanted to add horns or whatever prior to the skinning process. It's great because it's, like, halfway between a sculpting medium and glue and just gives you a really durable frame without needing to be baked (lots of times, your armatures for haunt projects are foam or plastic). Finer components like teeth are best done in polymer clay then glued in later. OH! And epoxy putties are great for making custom gears and components for animatronics too! But yeah... just a totally different beast with (for me anyway) totally different applications from polymer clay. I'm pretty amazed you managed to produce an entire sculpture with fine detailing out of it, but hey... fantastic job!

I think what I love most about your vids is you don't give up, you want to succeed even if you need to do more research. It reminds me to be humble with my crafts since they don't always work out or play nice during conception. Glad you didn't have an allergic reaction!

Ooo! Good for you for switching up formats! And materials!!! And size!!! I am fascinated by the new clay. Interested in seeing the big sculpt for sure!

Anyone else hoping Anthony makes the rest of the dragon soon? The suspense is intense!!! I'd also love to see you make a fox or kitsune!!!

New quotation: Respect the Clay. Lol

Hey i'm a miniature painter and we work with *LOTS* of putter to modify plastic figures. Apoxie sculpt is one of the least sticky epoxy putties but is to soft to work with on a small scale. we often mix it with a firmer puttie.

I appreciate your willingness to show your entire process of learning how to work with the material. I think sometimes people look at artist and think oh he's so good I could never do that when in actuality I feel there's a lot of experimenting and learning that people don't always get to see.

I use Apoxie Sculpt in my projects for my shop. After three sessions, I left the gloves behind. It's a little sticky to begin with, but I do not have any reactions or complications by using my hands. I'll merely smell like roasted pumpkin seeds for a while. I think you're actually allergic to it!

Been waiting to see what this was ever since your tweet the other day😁

I’m excited to see it all finished

“Magic Sculpt” also works well. You need to figure out the time frame because it changes in consistency as you are working with it. You did great!
