Directions for use

• Clean your hands thoroughly before making the mould.
• Prepare the alginate rubber in a mixing cup with lukewarm water (approximately 20°C) according to the mixing ratio of 1 part by weight of powder to 3 parts by weight of water. You can then push your hand directly into it.
• Make the mould by keeping your hand in the mixing cup with alginate rubber for 10 minutes (try to move as little as possible).
• After 10 minutes, remove your hand from the mould. Move your hand up and down and it will come out automatically.
• Mix porcelain plaster in the small mixing cup according to the mixing ratio of 1:3.5 (1 part water and 3.5 parts powder) and pour this into the mould. 
• Remove the casting from the alginate mould after 30 minutes. You can break off the alginate, because the mould cannot be used multiple times.
