I know this video is old but I hope you get to see this. Have you ever used a silicone mould to form the epoxy clay? AND once it's out of the mould, and completely dry, will heat (like that from a hot blow dryer) make it soften up enough to be moulded around something like a corner?
You don't mention how the clay takes strain, burning, or how you otherwise conceal the repair. Also how is this superior to just using Durham's rock hard or something similiar that is cheap and sands like wood. I appreciate all the videos. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks for the comment Otto. The clay dries like rock but can still be grinded and carved or sanded. It will eventually melt if burned too long. I simply spray paint with black satin and flat to conceal the repair on black bears. I have not tried Durham's rock hard, but if it works, go for it.
@@KrisConnors_CustomSculpture I would def recommend you try Durhams. Its MUCH much cheaper than this stuff. It doesnt shrink when dry (it actually expands slightly), its carveable and fire does not really effect it. You mix it with water to the consistency of peanut butter. The stuff is sold as a dry power that stays good in the can for years and years. Most glue and epoxy type products dry hard in the container after opening. It cant be stained but it can be painted. Its not the least bit toxic. Both products are about the same but the price is a huge difference.

Any tips for what tool to easily scoop out the clay from the tuba? It hurts my fingers.
I need an adhesive for a clay sculpture im doing. I want to glue it to a rock. Would this stuff work?
Yes
Magic sculpt is my favorite - I wish I knew better how to smooth it out
I have success using water on the surface to smooth it out.
Kris Connors thank you ! I’ve been using water but may just need to get better at my process 😌thank you !
Is that water that help you to shape your creation?
Maui- Maui yes, use water to soften and smooth the clay.

Does it? I thought this one was meant to be low odour. Thanks for the heads up.
