1 x 450g Alginart Chromatic ALGINATE - Moulding Impression Compound - Hand, Foot, Life Casting

I needed additional pack of this but didn't want to buy the whole tubs that amazon sells with all the other ingredients included. This was ideal and reasonably priced. Postage took longer than expected but its worth the wait

Love it came out just as I wanted. I used two bags of 450g aliginate to make my holding hands model and cut the top off a 5 litre water bottle. It was actually too much mix because as we put out hands in it was over flowing but no big deal, better to have too much than too little. With some of the reviews I was extremely paranoid about mixing and getting our hands in the mould quick. We decided to use cold water because we had nothing to determine the exact temperature. This worked out to our advantage, upon mixing very very quickly then getting our hands in the mould within 1 an half minutes we realized it was taking a while to set, it occurred to us we could have had extra minute mixing where we had used cold water. I should also add within the panic we didn't really mix the aliginate very well, There was lumps of unmixed alginate in places. This did concern me but as you can see bad mixing didn't effect the end result. I would say don't be too concerned about getting a perfect mix.We only needed 1kg of stone to fill the model. After 4 hours we removed the mold. The model was near perfect apart from a few bubbles of stone which had attached itself to the model. (possibly where the alginate wasn't mixed properly). This was easy to rectify, I just used a tooth pick to scrap it off.. It's myself and my Husbands 30th anniversary this year so what a great keepsake to mark the year. The model actually looked great white but I had already decided I would paint it. I painted my hand champagne gold and my husband's rose gold ( 3 coats). I still wanted more sparkle so to seal it I used Mod Podge 8 oz Sparkle Waterbase Sealer, Glue and Finish, Clear

As described arrived safely and quick

Tried making mould of my ears to make jelly sweets, worked perfectly. My jelly mix was what let me down. Very easy to use product.

You’re lying if you’ve not bought this after a failed clone-a-Willy attempt! Thankfully there’s enough in here for many failures!

I have used this before and got good results when casting my daughter's hand and foot. Disappointingly, the bag had a hole in it this time and some of the alginate had spilled out, hence the lower rating.

Bought this to make a model of my granddaughters holding hands for a present for their mum n dad .You must read the instructions and you have to get the right amount of water ready to mix with the powder all at the same time , as it sets very quick. We did waste the first lot as the powder started to thicken before we could add the rest of water .It was worth the wait .What an amazing model and my granddaughters hands kept in a beautiful keepsake ornament forever ...

Simple to use, just mix, wait for it to change colour and apply.There was instruction provided – so that was helpful.Picks up every little detail.I used for face mask – so added plaster Paris bandage for added strength.You can have loads of fun with this – brought some more and did my nephew hands as a gift for their parents – cheaper that get a professional to do it and simple…Will order again
