5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product. Highly recommended.
I just used this to cast my hand and it worked fantastically.I mixed a full 1 pound bag into 7 cups of 80 degree water. It turned pink right away. I stirred it quickly and almost didn't have time to get it into the casting box. Then I plunged my hand into it. After a few minutes it turned gray/white and I was able to wiggle my hand free. After 20 minutes I filled it with plaster of Paris. I let that sit for two hours and then removed the mold. It came off easily. The plaster of Paris cast has great detail. I will use this stuff again.Some hints:1. I made a form to hold the casting by taping together cardboard to make a tube. Then I put a plastic supermarket bag inside of that. The alginate is pretty thick so it was not a problem.2. I should have been more careful to position my hand in the middle of the form; the alginate was thin on one side. Still, it held up to the plaster casting.3. One pound was just enough to do my big hand up to just beyond my wrist.4. I oiled my hand and arm with vegetable oil. I think that was unnecessary. I don't think the alginate would have pulled out my hair.5. Next time I will mix it in an even bigger bowl. Really big bowl. I might do it with a bit more water; the alginate will take longer to set.6. When adding the plaster I banged the mold several times to release air bubbles, but there were still some big ones. I should have put in just a bit of plaster to begin with and rotated the mold to get air out of the ends of my fingers.7. Demolding was done with a small paring knife. At one point I broke the casting because I was pulling too hard. I should have taken my time. In the end I used some dental picks to get out the last little bits of alginate.Overall this is great stuff and very easy to use. I highly recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Mold to remember
Wonderful product with easy usage. Drying time was a few hours. Product was a bit messy but easy to clean up. Great time making lasting memories. Great price for the amount of product. I was pleased with the ending results.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but some advice...
Like many on here, we bought this as a replacement for the mold material in the clone-a-willy kit (that stuff is awful). This material works much better, BUT BE AWARE that the water temperature is critical. Using cold water greatly increases the setting time, making it unusable. Using hot water makes it set so fast, you better have "everything" ready to go. Room temperature water was the right balance for us. Also, don't stress over the water:powder proportions. Mix it to where the mixture is smooth enough to flow. Happy molding!
4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but could use better instructions.
The product did a good job for making the molds, but the instructions could have used a bit more detail. It didn't give a good indication of how long it would take for the color to change indicating it was ready to start molding, and didn't give an indication of how long the product would take to set.You'll be mixing for a few minutes before it's ready for casting, but it will be pretty obvious when it's ready. I've found the results are best if you've got a paint mixing attachment for a drill rather than attempting to mix by hand. I gave it approximately 10 minutes to set which seemed to work well, and did the final casting shortly after removing the item to be cast.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, one thing I would do differently next time…
This is an amazing product, the instructions say to wait until it starts to turn from pink to gray, and next time I would allow it to turn more gray. My mom and son held their hands in there for about 10 minutes and I’m so grateful that they were so patient.We used two bags just to make sure that I could get their arms in there as well. Make sure to have whoever you are molding togethers arms touching I said that the mold will not break.For my cast, I used two parts resin to one part number one plaster. But I don’t recommend it unless you are experienced since the allergen, it releases moisture as it dries. I had to polish the hands with all of the different tools. I had to make them look as clean as they do in the photos.The last photo is a cast I made from a mold of the original cast.
3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use
As advertised
5.0 out of 5 stars Great and easy to use, but pricey.
Luna Bean alginate was fun to use because it turns colors as it processes making it fun and easy to tell when you are done. It mixes well and does a great job of making the mold for casting. Good instructions for us beginners! One star off because I thought it was pricey, but then most alginate is pricey.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product!
As a fist time user I was surprised at how easy it was to use. My only suggestion is to have a scale to weigh the product out. I used a cheap digital kitchen scale (bought on Bolo for $7). Once the color changes from pink to white you are ready to cast. I did not use a thermometer on the water but had it slightly warmer that just cold water. It did seem a little clumpy but in the end it worked itself out. I felt it solidified within about 2 mins but I kept my hand in there for a full 6 mins. Also something that no one has mentioned is removing you body part / item from the mold, I thought it was going to rip my hair off and be a painful experience but to my surprise it was easy and painless. Once you break the vacuum seal it slides right out (and is slightly gratifying lol) over all fantastic product. The only and I mean only issue I have is that Bolo put their inventory sticker right over the directions. 10/10 product and the
