5.0 out of 5 stars Handcast turned out great!
Me and my mum put together to buy a kit for Christmas. I was very nervous about messing it up but it was really easy and looks good! The cast has picked up a lot of details such as the creases in the knuckles, my thumb ring and the veins on the back of our hands. It has created a lovely keepsake and it was fun to do!Few bits of advice:- practice your pose with an empty bucket.- the plaster won't fit in your average jug so use a mixing bowl.- Mixing is messy so wear an apron and put some newspaper down on your counters.- have some water ready to wash the alginate off your whisk, but do it quickly because it sets fast in the bucket and you need to position your hands whilst it's still liquid.- raise the bucket onto a chair or table so your comfortable as you wait for the alginate to set. It took about 3-4 minutes for it to start solidifying and about 8 minutes till it was ready.- Try stay still but you do have a small window at the start where you can reposition if needed. We noticed we weren't in deep enough so had to move. Because it was still liquid we got away with it.- Don't be concerned if it looks a bit messy inside once you've pulled your hand out. I was worried we'd disturbed it too much and ruined it but it was fine.- when ready, pour a little bit of plaster in first and swill the bucket around so it gets into all the crevices. Keep adding a little and swilling.- once the plaster is set and you need to tip the cast upside down to get it out of the bucket, have a towel underneath as we had some water come out.Good luck!

I purchased this originally for my Dog in his last moments with me but unfortunately we didn’t get to use it. However, my sister wanted one for Christmas and never received one from Santa so I gave it to her. She said it was easy to use, set fast and wasn’t finicky either, she is super chuffed with the end result. Well worth the pennies paid
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!! Not as bad as it might look at first!
I'd like to start by saying that the end product is not how it came out. I put a lot of time and effort into completing it.This is very easy to use. I watched a few YouTube videos to make sure I got it right.This was for my poorly dog and I as I don't know how long he has left. (He has a never-before-seen bone disease. And bowel disease/ruptured tendon due to the steroids used to treat his condition)And so you can imagine how much more difficult it is to keep a dog still than just your own hands going in.I will say though, I wish I'd not used cold water from the tap as it took about 10 minutes to set and my back was killing haha. Had honey on a lickimat to keep him distracted.I recommend applying some sort of release to your hands and paw to make it easier to get yourselves out. I didn't and so when my dogs paw came out, some of the cast came with him.If yours comes out with balls all over it, don't worry! That's from the bubbles you've created during mixing and no fault of the product. You can gently knock them off. I used a scalpel.And if there are any holes, crumble up some leftover product and gently but firmly press it in there and rub away the excess until it looks flush.I used Citadel Warhammer paints and Nuln Oil to give our cast a metallic oil. They're about £3-4 each and dry incredibly fast.I'm very pleased with my casting and plan to attach it to a base to keep safe.
4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 🌟 Very Precious End Result
I bought this because I had the same product (different brand) that hadn't worked very well.This one worked much better, I'm so pleased with the result. Its not PERFECT as such but I don't think you could get a perfect hand cast.The instructions were simple to follow and nothing is required that you'd have to go and purchase separately. (Hand whisk or electric hand whisk, large bowl, jug.)You make the pink/purple mould in the provided tub, whisk it for a couple of minutes, put your hands in, hold still and take them out when the mold turns white.Rinse it out slightly, make the plaster of Paris in a bowl with tap water, pour it into the mold, wait for 4 hours, tip it out the tub and remove the mold.It wasn't 'comfortable' as such but it wasn't too bad. My daughter and I just put an episode of Paddington on so she was distracted. It said to allow around 5 minutes for the mold to set which felt about right. The colder your water, the longer this will be.My main issue with the end result is that it's quite bobbly where there must have been tiny air pockets in the mold and the plaster of Paris seems to leave residue wherever it goes. I'll aim to put some sort of layer on there, maybe glue to strengthen it and act as a bit of a barrier. This comes with a pot of gold paint but I won't be using this.

Have bought lots, good presents.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worked great the second time
Ive had three of these kits, two were a big success one was a bit of a disaster. We got there in the end though and finally got a lovely cast of us holding hands. The second disaster attempt seemed to go white and set really quickly it had basically started setting before we got out hands in position, so the result was some very lumpy not very good fingers. I bought another as i really wanted it to work as we had done one in the past for my partner and his children that worked brilliantly.We had used cold water but the next time we added some ice chips to the water from the freezer, these dissolved but i assume cooled the water down quite a lot as this time it took ages for the pink to go white, so long we were quite uncomfortable waiting...defo pick a comfortable position, which is surprisingly hard when you are different heights. All in all happy and wasnt too annoyed to have to buy two.
3.0 out of 5 stars Ok for the price, tops of fingers and nails missing
Ok for the price, tops of my fingers and nails were missing, I was very careful removing my hand. Also had trouble where our rings were it pulled a chunk of the mold off with it when removing hands; lots of bubbles and a few holes here and there too. Will try and fix my fingers. Hopefully will look ok.
