[nuttertasha]

hi all

i cant use apoxy sculpt as i get eczema on my hands was wondering what else i could use to sculpy some masks any ideas would be great

[Tiella]

You could use an oven bake clay or could use wear gloves and use apoxie sculpt maybe?

[lilacamy931]

have you tried other brands such as milliput? perhaps mod roc??

[nuttertasha]

wow you two were fast ill try them but was wondering if fimo would be ok

[lilacamy931]

try anything hon and perhaps tester it before getting more involved on ponies. I have same problem with lanolin in raw sheep fleece and have to wear gloves

[nuttertasha]

thank you ill give it all a go see what happens just dont want my hands set off again its only just cleared up i hate it

[lilacamy931]

i would look at the product ingredients and see if common factor also?

[nuttertasha]

i shall do hun thank you just hope i get something as i wanna make some masks lol

[lilacamy931]

best of luck let us know how you get on? It is difficult as the gloves will stop you reacting to the substance you are using but then can create sweat and damp conditions to aggravate the eczema as well.. If making masks I highly recommend mod roc if think can use as it comes in a roll, you can contain it, you cut strips as little as need and can generally use only what you need in small sessions, it may not be as smooth as epoxy etc but might give your hands a break..

give fimo a go too and the general bake them sculpts.

I have eczema too, I just make sure I put on lotion before I use the apoxie and I have no problems.

[nuttertasha]

ok may give that a try thankyou

Some people get eczema when MIXING Apoxie, but when it's completely mixed they don't have a problem. There also is a warning on the tub to use gloves when mixing. Might be worth giving it a try: mix with gloves, sculpt with lotion. (You get better detail-sculpting results with lotion anyway, water tends to make the apoxie sticky and muddy while lotion makes it flexible and smooth without letting it loose it's stability).

Good luuuuuck!!!

thank you puuush ill keep that in mind ill let you all know how i get on wont be able to do anything until the weekend as im out of funds

you can use fimo, iv heard of people using it before, iv also tested out on other plastics in the past, just be sure not to bake it for to long. Id suggest trying to use gloves tho

[nuttertasha]
