Really, the sky is the limit. My interest in creating casts came from recognition that a large portion of objects we come by in life are exactly just that - they are all casts... things made of plastics, metals, resins, etc are mostly done using preset molds. For easy things to do with plaster, you can replicate most household statue decorations (crosses, animals), yard decorations (nomes, stepping stones), 3d wall art, decorative bowls, masks, etc.
Thanks Deepa. To hang casts on walls, there are many ways you could do it. I would go an easy route of buying some wire, and while the mold is solidifying, insert both ends of the wire deep into the plaster. That way when the plaster hardens, you will have the wire to hand it with. You can also do the same with hooks, etc. But in the end, its easiest to add when you are creating the cast, not after it is done.
I have a luna bean plaster cast that I made of father's hand before he passed away. Now the family all want a copy. Is it possible to cast the original plaster without damaging it?
i have a question. Once i complete the mold, can i wait to complete the rest of the steps? for example i want to make the mold in the hospital where my mom is of her hand and mine but i want to take it home and complete the casting at home. Is this ok?
Thanks for the great tutorial. Wish me luck. This is a Christmas present.
If a part of the mold breaks can you glue it back together?
How did you make the flat bases that are attached to the painted hands?
I'm just trying to figure what other things can u make, besides just hands, feet or face? What other creative options are out there?

Was the plaster not included?
After the 6 hours my statue is still somewhat wet but feels solid. Is it ok to remove the molding
Ok so how much Alginate do you use per hand mold? I’d like to buy a lot and make multiple rather than buying one at a time
M unable to do baby hand cast..every time it comes with half fingers..because baby fold the fingers..please help
On the instruction sheet it says to use 12 cups of water . You said 8 . What shall I do ?

Which kit do you recommend for a first timer? The Luna bean or smooth-on? Thank you!
Luna bean for sure. Its a bit more forgiving and comes with specific measurements and instructions

Can my wife leave her wedding band on while making the mold of our hands?
Yes
more than likely the ring will be ok, be very hard to loose it and hard to tarnish
Yes, rings look gorgeous when cast on the statue ❤️
any allergies of skin, if we use it for babies?
bharti2sky not at all😄
How much cost product
Do you come with the kit, or is that extra?
