Apoxie Sculpt
Hi everyone!
I was thinking of making some diy crabitat items and came across Apoxie-Sculpt. The maker of the clay says it is aquarium safe, and I read on some aquarium forums that it is safe. Do you think making some hermit decor with it would be ok too?
Thanks!

Re: Apoxie Sculpt
Aquarists have it harder since they have to worry about leaching, so if they approve it should be fine.

Re: Apoxie Sculpt
I wonder if you could use it to also repair holes in shells. Its so frustrating when you find the perfect shell only to discover a hole on it!

Re: Apoxie Sculpt
Omgosh! What a wonderful idea! I have a couple of shells with tiny holes that need repaired. It would be perfect for that! Thank you so much for the idea!smolmuffin wrote:I wonder if you could use it to also repair holes in shells. Its so frustrating when you find the perfect shell only to discover a hole on it!
The AS is a bit tough to work with. It doesn't hold it's shape like Sculpey Clay does. I tried to make a hide for the crabs but it kept collapsing on itself. I found a little jar I didn't need and molded the clay around that and made a little crab climber instead. It looks so silly but hopefully the crabs will use it lol. It does dry rock solid in 24 hours, no baking/firing required.

Re: Apoxie Sculpt
How cool! Had no idea this stuff existed. Now I’ll consume myself with making them more stuff, lol.

Re: Apoxie Sculpt
I never knew it existed either! Found it on Amazon. It is expensive though. It cost $45 for 4 lbs. Or you can get 2lbs for $25. There's 2 tubs, parts A and B. You have to mix equal amounts together then let it sit for 5 mins. Then you have 1-3 hours to work with it before it starts to harden up. I wish it would hold it's shape like Sculpey Clay does, but it doesn't. It tends to collapse in on itself. So I'm thinking I'll take a trip to the dollar store to find stuff I can cover in the Apoxie Sculpt. Maybe make some hideouts and whatnot.crabbycasey wrote:How cool! Had no idea this stuff existed.

Re: Apoxie Sculpt
I don't want everyone to be jealous (LOL NOT!), but here are two little bowls I made with the Apoxie Sculpt. I put my worm castings in them and put one in each tank. Looks like the crabbies in the big tank ate out of it.

Re: Apoxie Sculpt
I made these Hermie bridges with the Apoxie Sculpt. I used the Apoxie to weigh down the bottom, and also to hide the zip ties. When I get some extra money, I might purchase the colored Apoxie to brighten things up. The gray was cheaper on Amazon than all of the other colors.

Re: Apoxie Sculpt
Hehe thanks! I might make one with a back so it's like a hideout rather than a bridge.
