Mary Diamond Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 For all the creative folk, as well as any person ever tasked with a “Can you fix this” problem, I would like to introduce Aves Studio. I was first introduced to them while at an Art Gallery showing outside Joshua Tree, CA, leading me to initially purchase their Aves Power Pack sampler. I have since used their FIXIT Sculpt for concrete garden statue repair (see photos below), and Apoxy Paste, for concrete pot repair, with fantastic results. I think this group of products offers a great option for not only repair, but new sculptural creation as well, in an extremely durable, easy to work with product, and I am happy to share them with you. FIXIT is: 2 part product Self-hardening UV stable 500 degree F Heat tolerance Freeze Thaw stable Waterproof Marine and Exterior use Non-flammable Non-Hazardous Water clean up 15,600 psi compressive strength, 5850 tensile strength https://avesstudio.com For those interested, the bronze finish I recoated the statues with is a metal coating from Sculpt Nouveau, another fine company I am happy to recommend. The penny-bright finish ages/darkens naturally, or you can patina it to the darker aged bronze as seen on the last statue (showing the original 7 year old Sculpt Nouveau Bronze coating, patinated with Tiffany Green). https://sculptnouveau.com/collections/metal-coatings/products/metal-coatings Enjoy!
