Magic Sculpt is a popular brand of epoxy clay used by artists and sculptors. It is a two-part epoxy clay that is mixed together to create a malleable putty-like substance that can be shaped and sculpted. The clay has a long working time, allowing artists to take their time and refine their sculptures. Once the clay is fully cured, it becomes very hard and durable, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. One of the main advantages of Magic Sculpt epoxy clay is its versatility. It can be used for a wide range of applications, from small-scale sculptures to larger installations.
The cure time of Magic Sculp is two to three hours at room temperature before setting firmly overnight. This longer work time makes Magic Sculp a popular epoxy for sculpting larger and more detailed pieces.
The Kit contains Magic Sculp, Green Stuff and Geomfix Original A B, offering a range of epoxy modelling putties which can be used in different sculpting tasks at a cost saving compared with buying each putty individually.

Magic Sculp
When worked and smoothed with water, Magic Sculp sets to a material as smooth as ceramic. The soft consistency of Magic Sculp means that it will not shrink or crack, even when formed in large structures. This makes it a popular putty for building up bulk, creating sculptures and in restoration projects.
It is shaped by either hand or with tools and its grain structure allows it to hold fine details. Magic Sculp can be sanded, carved and painted. You can even attack it with a grinding tool and the cured material will not break or lose its shape.
In model making, Magic Sculp is used to create masters, assemble figures, carry out conversions and filling gaps. It offers excellent adhesion to all materials including metal, most plastics, glass, stone, wood, ceramic, jewellery and fabric.

Magic Sculp Testimonials
“My first choice putty and modelling bench essential is Magic Sculp. I use it for filling gaps and modifying and sculpting figures. I find its soft consistency has just the right amount of resistance for sculpting.”
“Magic Sculp isn’t too sticky and even has a bit of a waxy feel. It can be rolled into very thin sections, especially if left to cure for a short while, so that it’s a bit firmer. All the masters I make are made with either plastic strip/sheet or Magic Sculp.”
“Magic Sculp is the best type of modelling putty for scratch building military stowage, like tarpaulins and rolled blankets. It rolls very easily into thin sheets without tearing and gives realistic and natural folds and creases.”

Reviews for "Exploring the Versatility of Magic Sculpt Epoxy Clay: Projects and Techniques"
1. Rebecca - 1/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magic sculpt epoxy clay. It was extremely difficult to work with and it didn't hold its shape well. I found it to be too sticky and it kept sticking to my hands. It also took quite a long time to dry, so I had to wait for hours before I could continue with my project. Overall, I would not recommend this product.
2. John - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic sculpt epoxy clay, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The clay was quite firm and hard to knead, which made it challenging to achieve the desired texture and shape. Even after it dried, the finished product was not as sturdy as I had hoped, and it easily broke apart. I think there are better epoxy clays available in the market, so I won't be repurchasing this one.
3. Sara - 2/5 stars - I found the Magic sculpt epoxy clay to be too dense and difficult to mold. It didn't have a smooth consistency and had a tendency to crumble when worked with. I also noticed that it took a while to cure, and even after it dried, it was still somewhat soft and not as durable as I expected. Overall, I wasn't impressed with this clay and I'll be looking for alternatives for my future projects.
