    Such a cool creation!!
    I have been playing with the Free-Form Air for a few years now and I LOVE it.
    Your tip about creating multiple even balls of each part before beginning is GENIUS!!!
    I am definitely using that technique next time! I can't believe I have just been either making so much that it hardens by the time I use it on my piece, or I end up stopping, cleaning, and mixing a new batch from the big containers.
    Thank you!!!

      @UltimatePaperMache  8 лет назад +1

      I think it's exciting, too. I with the stuff wasn't so expensive, because I think it would be great fun to fill a whole garden with sculptures. Maybe I'll get rich someday. Although, to be fair, this little squirrel wasn't too terribly expensive - the materials cost maybe $15 or $20, if you consider shipping costs for the Free Form Sculpt. It would be great if I could buy it locally and avoid the shipping.

    I use Free Form Air for certain pieces and wanted to see the difference between 'Air' and 'Sculpt.' I can see that Sculpt is much more firm to mix and less sticky than Free Form Air. Looks more suitable for sculpting. Thanks for the video. This clarified things for me.

    What type of materials would you suggest I try?
    Thanks!

    • @UltimatePaperMache
      @UltimatePaperMache  8 лет назад +1

      Hi MoxieScene. Epoxy clay will make a lightweight outdoor sculpture. Foam carved and then coated with some kind of exterior foamcoat will work (I've never tried it.) Concrete would make a weatherproof sculpture, but it's really heavy. I'd go with the epoxy clay or foam.

      I know what you mean. This version of epoxy clay does seem to be a lot stiffer than Apoxie Sculpt, and harder to get out of the tub. I haven't found any way to do it, though, except to use my fingers. Maybe someone will have some ideas for us?

    If I may ask, spar urethane on paper mache, do you have any experience using that for outdoor pieces?

    • @UltimatePaperMache
      @UltimatePaperMache  8 лет назад +1

      Yes, I did try that, and it failed miserably. The problem was not water - it was sun. As long as my little turtle stayed in the shade, it was fine. When I moved it to the sun, it cracked within weeks. There may be brands that have adequate UV protection, and I can't remember what brand I used. However, my own experience was a failure. I've heard other people say that it works well for temporary outdoor displays, but the paper mache will get slightly damp. As long as you bring the pieces back inside and dry them out again, these folks say it works OK. So, for Halloween, I would say it works just fine. For permanent garden art, I wouldn't risk it.

    I use Magic Sculpt for the majority of my sculpts, but it can be a little tough on the hands. Would you say that the Free Form Sculpt is a little bit softer by comparison? Thank you! Love your work, it's very inspiring and informative.

    • @UltimatePaperMache
      @UltimatePaperMache  8 лет назад

      Yes, and that's one of the reason I liked it. The Magic Sculpt is much firmer, which is great for really fine details, but very hard to kneed the two parts together. It would be especially hard if you have arthritis or carpal tunnel. The Free Form Sculpt is definitely softer. For some purposes that might be an issue, but I really liked it.

    What's the working time with the epoxy? Thanks

    • @UltimatePaperMache
      @UltimatePaperMache  7 лет назад +3

      You can keep working for at least an hour, and often more. It slowly stiffens up, which is nice because you can use the soft version to fill a lot of space quickly, and then go back and do the fine details when it's a bit firmer. You can't wait too long, though, or it gets too hard. Since it's difficult to get an exact even mix of A and B, the working time can vary a little.

      ​@@herberthabanero7547 I used a thin layer of joint compound on my recent cat mask, and then gave the dried joint compound a coat of acrylic gesso to protect it. It seemed to work just fine. I did it to make the paper mache smooth, but it should work just as well to add fur marks. But if you put it on too thick, it will probably crack as it dries.

      I haven't worked with that brand. I think the Magic Sculpt is really similar to the Apoxie Sculpt, and I have used that. As far as I can tell (and I'm not an expert by any means) the different brands may have a different 'feel' to them, or a different weight or density, but they all work essentially the same way. I'm hoping we can get some feedback from people who do have more experience, so we can learn more about this material.

    • @UltimatePaperMache
      @UltimatePaperMache  6 лет назад

      I haven't used the Apoxie Clay, but I did find answers to your question out on amazon.com. According to several customers. the Apoxie sculpt is softer and sticker, while the clay feels more like real clay and firms up faster. The Apoxie clay might be fun to try, but it looks like it only comes in the one-pound package, and the Apoxie products are much more expensive when you get the smaller sizes. I always buy the Apoxie Sculpt in the 4-lb size.

    • @UltimatePaperMache
      @UltimatePaperMache  7 лет назад

      I've seen people using Apoxie Sculpt suggest that it should be left alone for a few minutes before you start working with it. That will give it a chance to stiffen up a little. Smooth-On also has a tiny bottle of liquid that's supposed to help with the stickiness, but it doesn't smell very nice and I couldn't see that it was doing any good. I wonder if it would help to put just a dusting of cornstarch on your gloves? It might be wroth a try. I made the squirrel last fall, so I cant' remember if I thought it was too sticky .

      No, it probably isn't going to be finished - I used it for some more experiments, and the poor fellow is now sitting on my shelf, covered with bits of this and bits of that.

      I have no idea. I don't speak Russian, and I don't know anyone who does. Sorry -

      I think they want the video translated into Russian. Per google translate.

    • @UltimatePaperMache

      Yes, that's what they need. But I can't help, because I don't speak Russian, and can't afford a translator.
