Ive been gone for a couple of months, but I have finally got a chance to post again, has anyone heard of this stuff

Sculpey Clay - not sure, but I think it is heat activated/hardened

Gapoxio - two part, mix and have one hour for changes

I haven't tested either of these things, but i did a little quick reading and many people seem to think the latter is harder than steel

sculpey is pretty fragile. no better than plaster I'd say. Yes it cures with heat. You have to bake it at something like 275 or 300 degrees for 15 minutes per 1/4th or 1/2 inch thickness. It burns easily, doesn't really sand well, and on the whole there's much better polymer clays out there. Also, if not baked properly, it becomes extremely crumbly.


that gapoxio stuff is pretty much the exact same thing as this product

which I swear by. The epoxy putties will be equally or more durable than bondo. They can be used for smoothing pieces out same as bondo, the only problem being that they are way more expensive.
