What is the proper way to mix Amazing Sculpt? [+ -]

Amazing Sculpt is designed to be mixed at a 1 to 1 ratio. Start by taking equal portions by volume of Parts A & B. It helps to form each part into a ball. Place both parts side by side and adjust the amount of resin or hardener until both portions are the same size. Mix by combining both parts into a single ball, then into it into a rope. Fold the rope in half and form a ball. Repeat process until you have a uniform color.

My Amazing Sculpt is sticky immediately after I mix it, what can I do? [+ -]

We made Amazing Sculpt sticky right after mixing to address the concerns of sculptors needing better adhesion not found with other clays. At the same time, others don't want the stickiness. To reduce the initial stickiness, let Amazing Sculpt rest 5-10 minutes after mixing before using. Cooling it in the freezer also works well to remove stickiness. To stop Amazing Sculpt from sticking to your sculpting tools or gloves, apply Amazing Smoothing Solution or Denatured Alcohol to them.

Can water be used to smooth Amazing Sculpt? [+ -]

Water can be used, but the results will be poor. To get a glass smooth finish, use Amazing Smoothing Solution or Denatured Alcohol. Denatured Alcohol works very well and can found in the paint section of any hardware store, Warning: it is highly flammable.

A major problem using water with any 2-part synthetic clay is delamination or "popping". This happen when layering clay on material like resin and cellulose acetate using water. Since water evaporates slowly, the clay can full cure with moisture trap between the layers. When the material is exposed to warm weather, the trapped moisture can expand and separate the layers causing delamination. We recommend Denatured Alcohol to eliminate delamination when layering Amazing Sculpt because it evaporates quickly. Denatured Alcohol can be found in any hardware store in the paint section for around $4.00 a quart.

Can Amazing Sculpt be painted? [+ -]

Yes, you can use a variety of paints including acrylic, enamel, oil and/or pastels. Before painting, clean the surface of your artwork with alcohol to remove dirt, oil and fingerprints. We recommend that you primer the surface of your Amazing Sculpt before painting using Tamiya's "Fine Surface Primer".
