I was wondering what would be better to set the mammal eyes with-Critter or Apoxie? And what would be the advantages & disadvantages of each product?

I use critter clay because it is less expensive. I save my Apoxie Sculpt for finishing work.
Use the critter clay. On most mammals you will have to do some adjusting and taxing of the skin for a few days till it dries . If you use epoxie, it will harden in about 6 hours, and you will not be able to adjust anything after that point. If your eyes start to shift, or the lids open up or drum cause the skin cant move cause its adhered to the epoxie, you will be stuck with it, unles you decide to remount, which seams costly to do a job twice to achieve the same results.
Thank you everyone! I really love this website! It really helps!
