    Default abracadabra

    today i was directed to the abracadabra website for epoxy.
    i ordered the smooth and the sculpt.
    has anyone here used their product?
    if so, do you know of a cheaper product that is just as good?
    thanks

    Robert,

    I have both but haven't used either of them very much. I tried to make some rose pedals with sculpt. I learned right away it takes more skill than I thought. It's not friendly as good old clay. You can use parchment paper and a rolling pin to flatten it out. Then smooth with water.

    I've used the Smooth more as a glue than anything else.

    Several other artists have told me to look at Wholesale Taxidermy supplies. That's where these products are made and used.

    I'm interested what you come up with. I'm sure you've figured out by now I soak up all the information I can get.

    Default sculpt

    today i found a new product on line called amazing sculpt.
    i called a distributor in washington state and they said it works great and it it less expensive than abracadabra.
    you thin it down with denatured alchohol.
    i'm going to get some and try it.

    Joe , did you ever post the details ?
    I'm working on some ideas for a monument type sign such as this that will be about 18" thick . To use HDU will be far too expensive !
    I would be interested in some of your ideas on an EPS sandwich !
