Great video, definitely a nice quick way to mold an arm
-
Burry half of it so just the hand is sticking up in the woods
-
Always nice to see more videos! Also, if I want to get a poseable cast, would embedding a wire armature work? or the silicone might be too thick for it to properly bend?
-
What is it you use to make the mild with?
-
About how much silicone did you use to make three models, and can you tattoo on the models?
-
Muy interesante 👍😃
-
How would you trim it if any bubbles on the hands, just a sharp knife?
-
Do not throw that away, it's a waste. Instead, chop it up into smaller chunks. Next time you pour an algenite, use the bigger chunks along side the liquid so you don't have to use as much liquid.
-
You mentioned if you wait too long between the mold and the cast, that the alginate will shrink and distort. Would pouring a cast, and just leaving it prevent this? Would you be able to remove the cast at a later time and retain the mold's form?

Would you be able to post a current price for all your supplies so we each know if this is even in our budget? I don't imagine you used $500 in product but I don't have any idea otherwise.

Please what are the name's of the Chemicals you mix in making the mold and it didn't hurt her hands??
