Which epoxy sculpt to use?

[Cozytoyhoard]

I've seen folks recommend both Milliput and Apoxie Sculpt but I'm unsure which one is right for me. I'm leaning towards Milliput because it seems more affordable for the amount I'll need and from what I can tell has a longer shelf life (which is great for someone who jumps from project to project.) However, I usually see Apoxie touted as the gold standard in doll circles; though admittedly I see it more in the bjd circles than the fashion doll circles.

My incredibly old, will never see the light of day, doll customs used paperclay and air dry doll clay so I'm a bit out of my league lol. ^^;

I used to use Magic Sculpt and I still have a bunch of it but I let it sit so long it's all separated, so I've ordered some Apoxie Clay to use (different from Apoxie Sculpt, some people say it's closer to Magic Sculpt or polymer clay? Which is what I want.) It'll be interesting to see how I like it. I'm not looking foward to donning a lot of PPE to work with it but that's the safe way to go since apparently one can develop a permanent sensitivity to epoxy resins out of nowhere.
I've never tried any other epoxy clay before so I only have polymer clay to compare to, but I used to use Magic Sculpt for cosplay accessories that needed to be really strong.

I use Apoxie Sculpt mainly because I find it easier to use but I am a creature of habit and haven’t tried many other options.

Yeah, epoxy sensitivity is no joke. I'd prefer to do as little sanding as possible too.

I use Greenstuff cos it is plasticky and it likes to stick to plastic. I used to use fine milliput for model work, but I don't think it likes ponies... or maybe mine is out of date lol.
