How to Lifecast a Hand with Alginate

[@jamescolton1085]

You know lifecasting with alginate is commonly done with a LOT more water. Mixes from 3:1 all the way up to 7:1. Might be a bit easier that way. Your mix ratio is for teeth casts.

[@AndrewOvenden]

Suggestion: Start the mixer while it is in the water and *then* add the alginate.

Hello cuáles son los productos que se necesita para hacerlo aparté del alginate

[@Gawron..]

Alginates are a great invention. Cleaning the residual alginate from the palm model is nothing. How much work would it be for a figure of the same size with protruding thin elements. The plaster would be too brittle in many cases. But wax from a candle is better.

[@shannonheathcliffmul]

did you ever end up doing the aluminium casting?

[@2008rschro]

Thank you. Did you only use a pound of alginate to do your hand? How much is a 1 lb box?

Helloo! Can I use chocolate instead of wax? Will it be considered as edible?

[@jamescolton1085]

Alginate is generally edible and is used in food preparation. I would not want to eat a bunch myself.

Don't you just hate it when you make a video and then people comment on all the things you did wrong? You do? Then good. You'll understand. What you should have don't was cover the inside of the mold with a release, either baby oil, mineral oil, or some compound intended to be used as a release. Then perhaps your wax would not have stuck to the alginate.
