Kit for hand, foot and other molds -Alginate-Escayola-

Molding kit with everything you need to make a mold of the human body and its subsequent copy in plaster.

The kit is composed of:

Alga-Cast Slow, Feroca's alginate for molds is a perfect molding material for making "temporary" molds of the face, hands and other parts of the human body. For the realization of reusable molds (more than one use) it is recommended to use the body-safe silicone, such as Feroca's Body Silk-Cast from Feroca.

Alga-Cast Slow captures detail at levels not previously achieved by any other alginate.

Alga-Cast Slow is easy to use and hardens quickly. In a few moments you will have a perfect mold ready for cast once or twice, depending on the material at cast.

The plaster Arquero is a plaster of very high resistance and low absorption. It does not effloresce (salt efflorescence).

It has one of the lowest expansions available in the market. Its setting is gradual and has a long plasticity period.

Its high hardness and resistance makes it ideal for final pieces that last a lifetime.

Preparation of the mixture.

Weigh the gypsum and water for each mixture. The water-gypsum ratio is a critical factor, since the final strength and density of the piece depends on it.

Use potable water at a temperature between 21º and 38ºC since variations in the temperature of the mixture (water-gypsum) can produce changes in the setting time.

It is important to keep the water and plaster in an environment with temperature within the mentioned range before use.

The higher the water temperature, the shorter the setting time.

Slowly and gently pour the plaster into the water. Soak it for 1 to 2 minutes. The plaster should be fully dispersed in the water before mixing. Small amounts of plaster require less soaking time than larger amounts.
