What's the normal consistency of Apoxie Sculpt?

[Katika]

I usually do my sculptwork with Sculpey, and have never had any problems with it.  However, the set of Mass Effect ponies that I've been working on have made it mandatory for me to do some "post baking" sculptwork.  My husband's a gamer, so I have Green Stuff (2 part apoxie used on hard plastic and metal miniatures) on hand that I've been doing most of the extra work with, but it has the tendency to get these nasty, hard clumps in it that don't always behave for sanding out, and it gets really pretty sticky during its work time.

I'm working on a very delicate accessory (Tali's mask, for those who know the game) that will need sculpting done on it, but I know I can't bake the main part of it (since it's thin plastic that would melt), but I don't want to use Green Stuff, for the risk of messing up what I have so far with how sticky and clumpy it can get.  I've been given the go-ahead to order some Apoxie Sculpt, but I want to make sure that it will actually behave in an appropriate manner before I order it.  Does it have a texture similar to Sculpey or is it sticky, too?  Does it sand down easily after it cures?  Does it mix smoothly when adding the two parts together?

Thanks so much for your help, everyone!

it works into a nice putty. After you work the two pieces together, leave it sit for about 15 minutes before working with it. I also put some lotion on my hands before working with it, because then it's not as sticky :3 you can also smoothe it with water, it's a wonderful medium to work with :3

And it sands down beautifully!

Thank you both very much for the help!

I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to do the same thing as the other stuff I have before I ordered it

You might like it so much you never go back to the other stuff

And if it feels too sticky or soft, just let it sit for some more time. My batch is older so it starts curing very quickly, I can start working right after mixing the two parts, but with a newer batch you need to let it sit for a while like Alatariel said. Even up to 30 mins depending on what you're planning to do with it. Apoxie is wonderful stuff! However, it took me a while to get used to working with Apoxie since it is somewhat different from polymer clays. Especially detail work feels more difficult, at least for me. I'm finally starting to get the hang of it but it required some practice...
