Apoxy and FIXIT - a Must for Every Creative and Handyperson’s Tool Box

[Mary Diamond]

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

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).

That is a brilliant endorsement!

 

And much appreciate the suggestion of a good industrial grade adhesive

I have not gotten to the repair work I had hoped to, but will advise on the adhesive qualities once I have.
