Mixing the Alginate
Bring the water bottles from the fridge and empty them in
your clean plastic bucket. There must be 2.5 litres (2.5 qt or
5.3 pt) of cold water. Put on your latex gloves.
Cut open the bag
of alginate and pour its entire contents (1 kg) (35 oz or 2
lb) in the water. You now need to act quickly and decisively.
Your model is ready and waiting.
Plunge the power drill
mixing blade into the bucket to mix the alginate to a thick
creamy texture. This should be achieved in less than 1 minute.
Mixing by hand if you
do not have a power drill is also possible. |
