Sculpting Epoxy and nasty rotting alien








Back to sculpting: today is sculpting Epoxy day! It allows to refine your sculpey base like nothing else, using little metallic carving tools. Don't forget to "cook" your sculpey base before applying the epoxy or you will loose all shapes and dynamic you've been working on. This type of material is as carcinogenic as it is awesome so first, be sure to wear gloves before mixing the two pastes. When done, you have exactly 10 to 15 minutes to shape the epoxy before it turns rock hard so my advice is to work on little sections one at a time. Humidify the little bit of epoxy with one drop of water before applying, it will considerably ease your work. The trick is to have a strong sculpey base with all the muscles and shapes you want to be revealed and the epoxy, in a thin layer will give an astonishing skin look that you will just have to riddle a bit to make it look perfect! Enjoy I personally had a great time using it!
