    Always nice to see more videos! Also, if I want to get a poseable cast, would embedding a wire armature work? or the silicone might be too thick for it to properly bend?

    You could do that with a Gel-10 hand, Gel-OO hand, or a Gel-25 hand that has been "deadened."

    You mentioned if you wait too long between the mold and the cast, that the alginate will shrink and distort. Would pouring a cast, and just leaving it prevent this? Would you be able to remove the cast at a later time and retain the mold's form?

    Pouring a cast will help a little, but the alginate will start drying out regardless of what is inside the mold. Best to do you casting fast for accurate results. Now, I have used the same mold over a dozen times to cast fast setting silicone and the last pull was noticeably smaller than the first.

    Do not throw that away, it's a waste. Instead, chop it up into smaller chunks. Next time you pour an algenite, use the bigger chunks along side the liquid so you don't have to use as much liquid.

    Alginate, once dried out, would cause distortion problems if added to fresh alginate as it would pull moisture from the fresh alginate causing it to warp. :(

    A lot of pricing will be specific to a given cast, but here's the breakdown for what we did here: Genesis V ~$16, Mold tube: ~$9, Gel-25 $28, Pigment ~$.50. All of those prices fluctuate based on the amount of material you purchase so these numbers are probably on the high end, purchasing in small quantities.
