Does anyone know which kit was used in this video example?
Hello! I just started getting into this but sometimes I'm missing the fingertips! Why? What can I do to prevent this? Please any advise
It’s typically because of air pockets in the finger holes. Try pouring in a little bit of your mold mixture and then tapping the container against a hard surface (table,floor) to release any air bubbles. Once you don’t see anymore big air bubbles, continue filling up your mold & once again tap it against a hard surface. Hope that helps!
@anacastro7286 omg thank you! I even purchased a vibrator to help me out with air bubbles. Should I tip the cup upside down a few times? Just to be sure? Ong that makes so much sense. I knew omit had to be the way if was pouring it up. Gravity wouldn't make the stone go up into the curved fingers if I don't tip the cup over.
Sorry I misread your message. I don't know why I was think this way as I was writing and totally not talking about what u wrote. I just invisible this idea. 💡 I think I understand the missing piece to the puzzle
Jesus Christ, why don't any video on here tell you how much water to start with! It's like the biggest kept secret in the world! Ffs!

What is the paste made of?
I Sverige pandoro. Hobby... ✌️❤️🇫🇴🦋🦋🦋
How can I paste my cast in cloth type background in a frame any cloth fabric
You want to stick your cast to cloth? We're not sure how to advise you on that. It would depend on the weight of the cast and the type of fabric/frame.
What can be applied on the paw and fur to make sure alginate doesnt cling on it and hurt the dog when taking paw out. TIA ❤️
Perfect ❤❤
Can you please let me know the ratios for mixing moulding and casting and the colour details please
We can't give ratios for mixing the powders as it varies depending on brand. Which colour details were you interested in?
Genius and cute!!!
where can I buy this alginate?
If you are in the UK, you can buy our alginate from our website here: www.edinburghcasting.com
Some art stores or dental supply. Amazon. Im in canada. Sculpture supply canada has a variety. And they have great casting materials.
Thank you for sharing this !! I have seen photos all over the internet but everyone was gate keeping the method!! This seems simple and easy for the baby as well
This is amazing, so the ring box is dipped in the alginate too? Does the casting powder not affect the box? Please guide ❤️
Howto order
where did you get that frame from?
Just google shadowbox and plenty of options should come up
What is the ratio of plaster to water?
It depends on the plaster. All of our kits come with full instructions and measurements.
I have a question. My son Kayden died at 16 months old from childhood cancer and the nurses at Barbara Bush Children's Hospital casted his hands for me without my knowledge shortly before he died. I never knew they even did it let alone HOW they did it. So I don't know if it was ever sealed as you say or not. But! What I do know is that I was an idiot and never put them in some sort of display case and just had them displayed on his toy box, and since it's been almost 15 years since then, they're now quite yellowed and dirty. Is there anything I can do to clean them, or seal them, paint them whatever to make them look better without destroying them as they're literally all I have left of his little body? Please if you can help me, I would really appreciate it.
We're so very sorry to hear about your little boy. We would suggest painting them with white fluid acrylic paint. 'Golden' is a professional brand that we would recommend. This won't cover the detail of his hands but will cover any dirt.
gay 😂
Can u not add water to alginate?What is the use or benefit of this
Yes you can, but you can end up with unmixed powder in the bottom of the container if you do it that way round.
What type of blender to use for 3 cups of alginate?
We use an electric hand mixer
That really showed us how to do it
what name pawder
Great
Thank you for your tutorials! I'm ready to do a foot now :).
Dude why do babies get to get a Casting of their feet when I can't?
Would this be good for making candle vessels and alright to burn the wax in it thanks
What is cuantity of gelmake powder and pop dusting plz tell me
It depends on the kit you're using so we can't give generic quantities I'm afraid!
Great tip
Hi, thanks for tutorials they are amazing. Ordered couple hands and baby feet cast. What glue should I use to stick feet it on fram please?
We'd suggest a two part epoxy adhesive
What do you seal with please
We seal before we paint. Once the cast is completely dry, use diluted PVA glue - 1 part glue to 4 parts water.
Which gum you have used please give me name of that gum
That was a glue gun and glue sticks. Just google glue gun
What is the material used to create a hand
It's called alginate
What is the material for doing this please
It's called alginate
nice! love it ! @cruhitnow
Wat is water powder ratio
That depends on the kit. We can only give ratios for our own materials and kits I'm afraid!
Beautiful family~! Lovely Mum~! I hope all is going very well~!
So many questions in this comments thread....and yet no answers. Hmmm.
00:51 Those circled numbers are not one-to-one on hands....
Sabine Harter Lukas
Mine has a lot of bubbles down where the fingers are, will the cast still look okay if I use this mold?
WHAT KIND OF GLUE CAN I USE TO GLUE THE SCULPTURE ON THE WOOD BASE? I'm USING QUICK GLUE BUT IT'S NOT STICKING
We'd suggest roughing up the base of your handcast (a cheese grater works) and then use a glue gun.
