How it works...
In all of our casting kits we use a high quality impression powder which changes colour as it mixes & sets, making it easier to achieve the perfect cast. The impression powder we use is excellent for taking quick and highly detailed moulds from the human body. It is totally safe and is fast setting.
A simple and easy method is used to ensure that you can achieve a perfect cast(s). For small areas such as a baby’s hand or foot, we simply mix the impression powder with water to produce a smooth mix and the hand or foot is then placed into the mixture which sets. The mixture sets but remains flexible so that the hand or foot is released easily.
The next stage...
Once the mixture has set & the limb has been released, you are left with the finished mould which is then filled with casting powder. Once the casting powder has set, the mould is peeled away and you are left with your fabulous cast which you can choose to decorate and display in a variety of different ways - browse our products for some excellent ideas.
For larger areas such as a pregnant belly or boobs, we use the same impression powder as above to create the mould but then use plaster impregnated bandages which support and strengthen the larger mould. Once the bandages have set, the mould and bandages are removed, casting powder is poured into the mould & then the mould and bandages are discarded, leaving your brilliantly detailed cast! Again, it is up to you how you choose to decorate and display your cast.
