Details

When mixed with cold water, this fine white powder becomes creamy, allowing very precise prints to be made.
Alginate is softer than plaster, does not irritate the skin and comes off easily.
Dose Alginate and cold water depending on the type of work and setting time desired.
Mix quickly, in order to avoid lumps, until you get a yogurt-like consistency.
Make sure to keep the nostrils clear and apply a thick coating of Alginate on the skin and then lay down several layers of plaster bandage until it is at least 5 mm thick.
Once dry, Alginate and bandages will form a rigid shell. The prints obtained this way will be used as a female mold.
Use a paint mixer when larger quantities are needed.
To make Alginate set more slowly, add a few ice cubes to the water.
Inversely dip the plaster bandages into lukewarm water for faster setting.
