Lifecasting Tutorial: Foot Mold With Monster Gel Alginate

In this tutorial we explain a simple method for taking a foot impression using Monster Gel alginate. Monster Gel is a new alginate formula with a 2:1 mix ratio. 2 Parts dry alginate to 1 part warm water. Monster Gel works best with warm water and is formulated for use with warm, or even hot water so you can still have plenty of working time. For this mold we used the "Regular" set which allows for about 4-5 minutes of working time.
The astute viewer will notice that I apply release to my daughter's left foot and mold the right foot. This is because we actually molded both feet in this session but used the video of one cast. This has resulted in mild confusion for which I apologize. I meant to address that in the voice over.

Very cool! I bet that foot will be fun around Halloween.

Wow, very well done, nice color match

[@imaner76]

I love your videos, clam clear and informative. But.. Umm, you prepped the left foot and cast the right?

[@brickintheyard]

I didn't mention this in the voice over, but we molded both of her feet. I used video from both feet. Sorry for the confusion!

@@brickintheyard no worries, could have been a sticky situation... I'll get my coat.

She switched feet. You put release on her left foot and cast her right foot.

Sorry for the confusion, we actually molded both her feet. I used video from both casts for this tutorial.

Question. When standing on your foot the bottom will get mighty thin to non-existent. How do you fix that?

[@brickintheyard]

It is very thin, but the box holds everything in place during casting.
