Body Casting Manual

Applying the alginate skin.

This is the most difficult part of the casting process and much of the success of your casting will depend on how well you have done this part.
 

Mixing alginate with water in a plastic bucket    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.

 

  nThe water to alginate mixing ratio of 2.5 l for 1kg is for my Aroma brand alginate. If you use a different brand, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.  
 
 

 

  nMixing the alginate with the power drill will make some dust. This is best done outdoor…
