Magic Sculpt Doll or Puppet Flesh Color Experiment
As you might or might not know, Magic Sculpt color "Flesh" is, unfortunately, not really doll-friendly "flesh". It is more like "Painfully Scalded Skin Flesh" or "Freshly Butchered Meat Flesh".
Recently, Magic Sculpt brought new color "Tan". Good try, but still not quite there.
So, here is my attempt to make "Doll Flesh" color.
Recipe:
1 part White, 1 part Flesh, 1 part Tan produces this decent-looking "Flesh" (in my hand on the photo below). Also, possible to play a little more with proportions to get just the right shade.
Welcome to Magic Sculp - the two-part epoxy putty specifically designed to meet the needs of modelers, crafters and sculptors alike. One of the few epoxies that will smooth out with water.
Its grain structure is finer than any other product available and will not shrink or crack even when formed in large structures. It can be shaped by hand or with modeling tools, sanded, carved, painted; you can attack it with a grinding tool and the cured material will not break apart or lose its shape.
Magic Sculp will cure at room temperature.
- Magic Sculp will adhere tenaciously to most any surface, and can be sanded and painted when hard.
- Easily mixed (Resin and Hardener slightly color coded: mix until one solid color).
- Good adhesion to almost all clean surfaces, including glass.
- Excellent malleability.
- Good sculpting media: as easy to work with as oil clay.
- Surface may be smoothed out with water.
- Water and soap clean up.
- Completely inert when cured.
- Accepts all types of paint.
- Surface may be sanded or ground when cured.
- No measurable shrinkage.
- Good for repairing anchoring bases and armature rods.
- Indefinite shelf life.
- Very forgiving on mixing ratio. Ratio may be varied to slow or speed up time.
- Repairs low pressure leaking pipes of plastic, cast iron, stainless steel, and copper.
Not only Magic Sculp is great for building armatures and bases because of its superiour strength but it has fine enough grain to actually sculpt from it - see the 2" tall Firefly sculpture on the picture below.
To use Magic Sculp, you simply mix equal parts of the resin and hardener, then knead together until a uniform color is obtained.
It can then be shaped, sculpted and smoothed with a wet finger or modeling tools.
It will harden in 1 1/2 to 3 hours.
Do not go into the jars with dirty hands - use separate tools! Even minute amount of the other ingredient will start the chemical reaction and will ruin all the entire jar of clay.
If you think you have sensitive skin, use gloves. If gloves are not an option, wash your hands promptly after you finish working with Magic Sculp with soap and water. Do not touch your face.
Magic sculpt is a 2 part epoxy putty, it comes in 2 containers. Once two ingredients are mixed (equal amounts), it hardens to rock-hard state. It takes about 1.5 hours for Magic Sculpt to start hardening (from the time of mixing) and it completely cures after 12 hours. It needs to be mixed well. To check whether it is properly mixed, here is a test that you can use.
Mix 2 parts, roll into a ball, flaten it into a pancake on flat surface. The two parts are of different color, but the mix should be one uniform color. If there is any kind of "marble effect", keep kneading. Here is the picture - the one on the top still needs mixing, the one on the bottom is good to go:
Also check out Magic Smooth - Magic Sculpt companion product - epoxy compound with a vaseline- or petroleum jelly-like consistency. A very useful product anytime you need a very strong glue at a spot where the working surface is small and the grip must be strong (consider repair of a broken porcelain figurine, for example). Petroleum jelly-like texture allows for it to get into smallest cracks as well as adhere tenaciously to almost any surface, including glass and metal. It is also great for filling small holes, anchoring nails, screws, rods, as well as miscellaneous household repairs of china, porcelain, dolls, etc. See the picture below - the goo on the toothpick is the Magic Smooth:
It can then be shaped, sculpted and smoothed with a wet finger or modeling tools.
This means that the clay will naturally smooth itself out while being sculpted, minimizing the need for excessive sanding or shaping. Once the Magid Sculpt Epoxy is fully cured, which can take up to 24 hours depending on thickness, it becomes very durable and resistant to environmental elements. It can withstand heat, water, and UV exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor displays. Furthermore, this epoxy clay can be easily painted over using acrylic or oil-based paints. The cured surface also provides good tooth for adhesion, allowing artists to achieve desired color and texture effects. Overall, Magid Sculpt Epoxy is a reliable and versatile medium for sculptors and artists. Its long working time, strong adhesive properties, self-leveling characteristics, and durability make it a popular choice in the art community. Whether it is used for small-scale sculptures or large installations, this epoxy clay provides endless possibilities for artistic expression..
Reviews for "The Versatility of Epoxy Resin in Sculpting: Beyond Traditional Mediums"
1. John - 2 stars - I was quite disappointed with the Magid Sculpt Epoxy. Although it claimed to be easy to use and provide a strong and durable finish, I found that the epoxy was difficult to work with and did not live up to its promises. The consistency was inconsistent, making it difficult to spread evenly, and it took much longer to cure than stated on the packaging. Additionally, the final result was not as smooth as I expected, with visible imperfections and blemishes. Overall, I would not recommend this product for any serious sculpting or crafting projects.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Magid Sculpt Epoxy, but it completely let me down. The epoxy was incredibly difficult to mix properly, resulting in a lumpy and uneven consistency. It also took forever to cure, and even after leaving it for the recommended time, it still felt tacky and never fully hardened. On top of that, the finished product had a strange, unpleasant odor that lingered for quite some time. Needless to say, I would not use this product again and cannot recommend it to others.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I had a terrible experience with the Magid Sculpt Epoxy. The instructions were not clear, and the package did not include enough epoxy for my project, forcing me to purchase additional supplies. Even after following the instructions diligently, the epoxy did not dry properly and remained sticky to the touch. The finish was rough and uneven, far from the smooth and professional look I was hoping for. I would not waste my time and money on this product again.
