Which Aves product?

Post by DeltaVee »

I finally ran out of Aves putty and wanted to get more and there are 3 products: Apoxie Sculpt, Fixit, and Apoxie Paste. Good grief. I just want to fill seams, rough spots and occasionally build up structure. Which one works? Which is which?

In my experience:

Putty is your best all around seam filler, and building up structure.

Paste is a little thinner, and works best when filling seams on more organic structures, like figure joints.

This will help!
So me, trying to be tolerant of everybody's situations, went to a feminist picnic. Things fell apart fairly quickly after nobody made any sandwiches.

Thanks much. I read a little more on the Abbey of Aves and found similar responses. Putty seems more appropriate for uneven seams and buildups while maybe the paste is easier to apply for relatively smooth seams, hard-to-get-to seams and resin model pinholes (which thankfully are mostly a thing of the past). Still, I've never had a problem using the putty for anything.
Does the paste work any better or do a better job than just thinned down putty?
