Holding Hands Casting 3D Kit for Adults Hands Keepsake Memory kit with Alginate, Casting Powder, Mixing Bucket and Paints Couple Hand

Me and my mum put together to buy a kit for Christmas. I was very nervous about messing it up but it was really easy and looks good! The cast has picked up a lot of details such as the creases in the knuckles, my thumb ring and the veins on the back of our hands. It has created a lovely keepsake and it was fun to do! Few bits of advice: - practice your pose with an empty bucket. - the plaster won't fit in your average jug so use a mixing bowl. - Mixing is messy so wear an apron and put some newspaper down on your counters. - have some water ready to wash the alginate off your whisk, but do it quickly because it sets fast in the bucket and you need to position your hands whilst it's still liquid. - raise the bucket onto a chair or table so your comfortable as you wait for the alginate to set. It took about 3-4 minutes for it to start solidifying and about 8 minutes till it was ready. - Try stay still but you do have a small window at the start where you can reposition if needed. We noticed we weren't in deep enough so had to move. Because it was still liquid we got away with it. - Don't be concerned if it looks a bit messy inside once you've pulled your hand out. I was worried we'd disturbed it too much and ruined it but it was fine. - when ready, pour a little bit of plaster in first and swill the bucket around so it gets into all the crevices. Keep adding a little and swilling. - once the plaster is set and you need to tip the cast upside down to get it out of the bucket, have a towel underneath as we had some water come out. Good luck!

I bought this kit to make a treasured memory of the last time I ever held my mum's warm hand. Due to the circumstances I wouldn't have ever been able to repeat the process if it had gone wrong, so I had to get it right this one time. The instructions were clear, and it set in the right amount of time. I was so pleased that it turned out so beautifully. It has so much detail and It only required minimal touching up after to perfect it. I would purchase again to make other memories.

I bought this because I had the same product (different brand) that hadn't worked very well. This one worked much better, I'm so pleased with the result. Its not PERFECT as such but I don't think you could get a perfect hand cast. The instructions were simple to follow and nothing is required that you'd have to go and purchase separately. (Hand whisk or electric hand whisk, large bowl, jug.) You make the pink/purple mould in the provided tub, whisk it for a couple of minutes, put your hands in, hold still and take them out when the mold turns white. Rinse it out slightly, make the plaster of Paris in a bowl with tap water, pour it into the mold, wait for 4 hours, tip it out the tub and remove the mold. It wasn't 'comfortable' as such but it wasn't too bad. My daughter and I just put an episode of Paddington on so she was distracted. It said to allow around 5 minutes for the mold to set which felt about right. The colder your water, the longer this will be. My main issue with the end result is that it's quite bobbly where there must have been tiny air pockets in the mold and the plaster of Paris seems to leave residue wherever it goes. I'll aim to put some sort of layer on there, maybe glue to strengthen it and act as a bit of a barrier. This comes with a pot of gold paint but I won't be using this.

I'd like to start by saying that the end product is not how it came out. I put a lot of time and effort into completing it. This is very easy to use. I watched a few YouTube videos to make sure I got it right. This was for my poorly dog and I as I don't know how long he has left. (He has a never-before-seen bone disease. And bowel disease/ruptured tendon due to the steroids used to treat his condition) And so you can imagine how much more difficult it is to keep a dog still than just your own hands going in. I will say though, I wish I'd not used cold water from the tap as it took about 10 minutes to set and my back was killing haha. Had honey on a lickimat to keep him distracted. I recommend applying some sort of release to your hands and paw to make it easier to get yourselves out. I didn't and so when my dogs paw came out, some of the cast came with him. If yours comes out with balls all over it, don't worry! That's from the bubbles you've created during mixing and no fault of the product. You can gently knock them off. I used a scalpel. And if there are any holes, crumble up some leftover product and gently but firmly press it in there and rub away the excess until it looks flush. I used Citadel Warhammer paints and Nuln Oil to give our cast a metallic oil. They're about £3-4 each and dry incredibly fast. I'm very pleased with my casting and plan to attach it to a base to keep safe.

Easy to use with clear instructions. Was a gift and the recipient was so pleased with it. Needs supervision of an adult to mix and use as you have to wait for the mixture to set before pouring in the mixture for sculpture

Very impressed with this kit. I thought it would be difficult but it was much easier than I expected. We mixed the alginate with an electric whisk to get it smooth (it smelled like strawberry angel delight!) and made sure we had a comfortable position for putting our hands in. Due to using very cold water it took 15 minutes to set! I was very worried about my ring breaking the mould so wiggled my hand free very carefully. With the plaster we poured in a small amount and swirled it around to avoid air pockets then topped it up. After 4 hours we couldn't get it out the bucket so had to slice off an edge to release. It did have tiny bobbles on the cast from bubbles in the mould but these scraped off very easily with a craft knife. Overall I was very pleased with how it turned out and the level of detail is incredible. You can see every fingerprint and line. Absolutely recommend.

Great fun! Messy! Difficult to get all the air bubbles out. Practice is definitely recommended

Easier than we thought it would be.....way easier! BUT use a cheap electric hand wisk.....makes it a smoother process. Came out so beautiful( We were convinced we'd ruined it lol). We took our time through the last stage, being gentle to pick off the rubber mold. If you have very long nails , I'd advise trimming them as that would be a very thin bit of plaster and prone to breaking off. I've not put a photo up as it's rather personal. I'm unfortunately very unwell and this is a beautiful keep sake for my 19yo daughter. Great price and highly recommended. ( Helped us to read the instructions over and over and then stage by stage, just to get it right).
