- Make a hand lifecast using alginate as the molding material and plaster of Paris as the casting agent.
This video shows mixing up the alginate to create a mold for a real life hand which is then casted using plaster of Paris. The plaster of Paris is poured into the alginate mold to create a realistic and life-like hand cast.

Ha! Glad you gave it a go,love that medium,tons of possibilities.Great vid as usual.
It's great stuff Gris! I mentioned you in the video, but it got lost in the edit! Will post the new videos on the forum soon! Been quite busy here! Hope all is well your way! :)
Dramamask Evolution and we add hot r cold water for alginate n plaster of paris
Mix cold water with the alginate. When you buy the alginate, you should receive instructions, but it is pretty straightforward. With the plaster of Paris, I used to use warm water to speed up the curing process, but I mainly use cold water with the plaster of Paris, to have a regular curing process.
@@dramamask great info...could you have poured concrete instead of plaster Paris?
Great vid Drama!
Cheers Bob! :)
Very impressive!
Cheers Julian! They are very straightforward to make. :)
Great video..newbie into molding and casting...this is really interesting ☺️
Glad you got something from the video and you have reminded me I need to update the video into a better quality video. :)
I want to know how did u fixed the finger?? Coz even i faced same problem .. but don't know how to fix it
I used PVA glue, but it isn't really ideal, although I made a mold to cast these hand casts. :)
Niceeee , we use the alginate in dentistry for impression ,
Great to watch the video , will surely give it a try ,
Yes, I am aware the alginate is used in dentistry and sounds like you will be able to get your hands easily on lots of it! Good luck with your casting! :)
I tried the same brother but i used a glove instead of my own hand!! Love the video will try will my own hand as well!!
Cheers Guns! :) Interesting with the glove and I hope your hand turns out well! :)
Nice work sir
Thank you Indian Indian! :)
Amazing
Cheers Gaming Zone! :)
i really like your vedios
Ty😁🇨🇦
Thank you Yolanda! :)
Thankyou
Thank you too! :)
Very good job ..😎👍
Thank you T Lee! :)
Could you use this to make a body cast? I want to make a dress maker’s mannequin for draping, but I’d like it to conform to my shape precisely.

how can ı do gloves for my prosthesis hand.
I don't quite understand the question, but you could mold your hands with gloves. :)
that would great for halloween
It would! :)
what is that green thing where should I get it someone please tell me
It is alginate and you can buy it online at Ebay and Amazon.
Hi I want to do this but also want it in stone/ concrete. Can I pour concrete into the alginate mould. Ultimately I would like to make concrete garden ornaments so I am trying to do replicas of ornaments I already have.
I think the most efficient way to do what you want, is to make a plaster of Paris cast with the alginate mold and then make a latex mold from the plaster cast. When you have made your latex mold from the plaster cast, you can replicate using concrete poured into the latex mold. It probably wouldn't be very beneficial to pour concrete into the alginate mold. I hope this helps. :) I'll put up a latexing video in relation to these casts shortly. :)
Looking forward to this video, to see how it is done. As I would like to make the hand out of cement.
I have just started making latex mold for the hand cast items, so video should be up over the next couple of weeks. Takes a bit of time making latex molds, but have a few videos which have latexing in them already. Here's one video which shows the latex molding process and is for a planter. Pretty much the same principles will apply to making the hand cast molds: th-cam.com/video/oQrvrvqyJ70/w-d-xo.html
Was looking for a video like this to see if the heat produced by the setting plaster of Paris would have any negative effects on the alginate molding detail but apparently it doesn’t which is great. Thanks!
Hand in video too small to generate too much heat from the plaster, but as most of us know, you want to respect the plaster of Paris as bigger items will certainly generate some dangerous heat. I’ve read some horror stories regarding that.
Thanks for the video on making a hand. Really helpful. Strange question now, but would it work if I poured wet red earth clay into the bowl of set alginate? (I'm looking at making my hands into a sculpture only I'd like them to be of a natural material and not of plaster of paris or concrete). Any thoughts on how I might do this Sir? (It's for healing/therapy which is why natural is best). Thanks.
Hmm, I don't know. I guess if the clay can be poured with no air getting trapped then you would be ok. The trouble with alginate, is that you can only use it once to make a cast as it degrades quite quickly. The alternative might be to make a mold of the plaster cast and experiment with that.
@TheHappyNisha
Hey Nisha,
Did the method work? I’d kindly like to know
I decided not to make a cast of hands in the end.
Hey....nice video...very clear cast..i have also made a couple hand cast.. please share your precious reviews over there
Cheers Barren! I'm thinking of doing my feet soon! Will be a gross video! Haha!! :D Will check out your vids! :)
@@dramamask thanks alot... please dont forget to share your mixing ratio.
@@Nikkuarts I think I put the mixing ratio on the vid. I have a more up to date video here: th-cam.com/video/r9NlT8w-2lc/w-d-xo.html
Would it be hard to make a skin colored silicone hand?
I've not tried this, as of yet, but would think you would need to make a fresh mold from the plaster cast made from the alginate. I'm not sure if you can pour the silicone straight into the alginate, as you don't have much time to work with the aginate in relation to the curing time of silicone. Of course, plaster of Paris sets relatively quickly and before the alginate starts to detoriorate.
@@dramamask You can pour silicone directly into an alginate mold but it needs to be Platinum catalyzed silicone, not Tin catalyzed stuff. The problem with "skin color" is that there really isn't such a thing. Look at your hand and you will see many, many different shades of color in different places. Veins, lines in the palm, knuckles are all different colors than the dominant skin color. Solid "Pink" hands just look creepy
@@DoctorAlginate Thank you very much for this information, Chris! Will come in handy for those wanting to cast silicone in alginate. :)
Please make some crafts that children can do easily without moulds

Also what's the ratio of pop and water bro ...

Hi.. i want to knkw where to purchase alginate and plaster of paris in bulk please..
I don't know of a wholesaler which sells in bulk, but would also like to know myself. I've been buying in small amounts at the moment from retailers.
Try Alibaba or Aliexpress
Hey hi love from india.... can you tell me approximately how much Time it takes for pop to get set hard...I'm waiting for more than a day

I have watched a lot vedios of this casting but I'm observing that everyone is working with alginate differently.
In some vedios they would have hardly have 2 mins of time for mixing and taking the impression before alglinate sets.
But here u have much time.
Can you please suggest me the alginate which takes more setting time so that I could have sufficient time for mixing it well and place the hand in perfect pose?
I just used standard alginate which I bought from Ebay. You should have enough working time and plenty of time to mix up the aliginate. I'll have another alginate video up soon and there is another quick alginate video on the channel also: th-cam.com/video/EbkrrKT5IxQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your reply!
How much time do you have for place your hands in pose after you started pouring water in alginate?
Please tell me atleast approximately
Thank you for your reply!

Please tell me atleast approximately
@@tejaswinimukkamala9007 You probably have around 2 minutes maybe. You'll find it is enough time. I think the alginate sets after about 5-6 minutes after mixing. :)
How to buy this alginate powder sir
You can buy the alginate on Ebay. :)
How much water do you use for that one bag plz
1 to 1 mix with the alginate and water in volume and the same ratio in volume for the plaster of Paris. :)
lol
Alginate and dental plaster the same thing?
I'm in the UK, so alginate and dental plaster are two different things. The alginate is to make the mold and the dental plaster is probably what is used to make the cast from the mold. I do have some dental stone plaster here, which I will make some casts and will put a video up soon. Usually, I would use Plaster of Paris to make the model and remold the plaster of Paris to make further concrete replicas, if that makes any sense. :)
Dramamask Evolution thanks
is there any substitute of alginate powder???
There probably are other materials, but I don't know the names.
A quick and dirty mold would be to use plaster of paris wraps, but I wouldn't recommend it as its a pain to get off nicely and will not produce such nice results. Otherwise, I've heard of Body Double® SILK by smooth on which is supposed to be pretty good and reusable.
Sound is bad audio needed to be cranked up a little, i think it needed to explain which is used for casting and which one is use for molding some newbies just starting have no idea. Thank u!
I'll probably remake an improved video in the summer. This vid is relatively old now. Thank you Elena. :)
WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE KNOWN HOW MUCH PLASTER OF PARIS WAS USED!
It was the right amount for the job. 😁
which adhesive material used to glue feet cast in frame?
There was no adhesive used. If you are asking about the material used to make the mold - it is alginate.
Dramamask Evolution i want to glue this cast in frame so how to steak this cast in frame dats what i m asking
Dramamask Evolution kon sa colour is par apply karte hai for better appreance and look
You might want to set the cast into something, like plaster or cement. I wouldn't want to suggest a glue which would keep it in place. If I was to mount a lifecast into a frame, which would hang on a wall, I would cast a base with the lifecast and even drill into the base to give it a solid fixing.
Dramamask Evolution but drill in a lifecast would damage or break a cast??
I tried using alginte but its getting set very fast not even 1minute its taking. Its blue powder.. Money is wasting..
Sorry to hear you had problems with your alginate.
I need to make some zombie hands this will work perfectly.
Funnily enough, I stuck a bandage around the cast I replicated for molding using plaster-gauze. :)
@@dramamask lol awesome
Sir ver nice please tell me from where i buy this powder is this very costly
I get my alginate from Ebay. Prices vary and best to check everything out. :)
@@dramamask sir in ebay it is very costly plesse suggest something
@@muskanmanjhani7425 I don't have anything else to suggest other than that.
@@dramamask sir what name shall i buy in local market
@@muskanmanjhani7425 The molding material is called 'Alginate'.
Isn't it make mould using clay
The mold/mould in this video is made from alginate.
i cant hear you properly
Pardon? :D
Please stop coughing into that microphone. It is so loud when you do that. How rude of you.
Rude by name and rude by nature! *cough*
