More info:
*Do not pour the alginate directly into the epoxy resin *A respirator can be used to mix the alginate and water *Once the alginate has been mixed with water, you can gently tap it against the counter for 10-20 seconds or drum the container with your hands (before placing the object in the alginate) to reduce bubbles *Before pouring the plaster or other material into the mould, make sure that no water has collected at the bottom of the alginate mould. If there is, remove excess water by gently tilting the mould. *Alginate must not be mixed with other materials! *Not edible material!
Usage:
Prepare a container, such as a bucket, with the required amount of cold water (approx. 12°C-14°C). Note: When using warm water (e.g. approx. 23-25°C), the processing time is reduced to approx. 60-90 seconds and the hardening takes about 3-5 minutes. Now carefully pour the 3D Alginate Cast Blue Professional powder into the container. Tip: It is advisable to add the alginate powder in batches to reduce the formation of lumps. The powder is stirred in water for about two minutes, for example with a whisk or a suitable mixing stick. After a homogeneous mass has been formed, tracing (e.g. from the hand) can be started. Leave your hand in 3D Alginate Cast Blue Professional for about 3-5 minutes, as still as possible. The hand should not come into contact with the mould inside the alginate. The colour changes from purple (liquid) to light blue (hardened) as it hardens. Now carefully pull your hand out of the tracing material. Tip: to facilitate removal from the material, we recommend using Vaseline, which is applied before placing the hand in the gel fluid. Tip: It is advisable to mix a small sample to familiarise yourself with the material.
In order to obtain the desired impression of the base material, in the next step, you should mix the casting powder with the used object in the appropriate proportion and pour it into the now solidified 3D Alginate Cast Blue Professional moulding mix. After the mould or casting powder has solidified, remove the alginate from the mould and carefully tear off the pieces until the mould is free from residual alginate. Residue can be removed, for example with a brush, so that once the moulding is completely dry, the finished item can be used as a decorative element or further decorated with acrylic, epoxy resin or another material.
