Smooth-On Life Casting Starter Kit With Alja-Safe Alginate

Loved the product. Made a great replica of my dearly departed pup's paw. Only reason i docked a star on ease of use is because the bags of powder dont really tell you how much product you have for water measurement so I had to measure each bag individually cup by cup to ensure proper mixing.When putting a dogs paw inside you definitely need one person on the bucket with the mold gel inside and another on the dog holding it still. Takes about 8 minutes to set so good help is key.Plaster set pretty quick and the mold cut away easily to expose the cast. A little bit of sanding for flash lines and it was perfect. Do not cut away the mold before 3 hours time setting. BE PATIENT!The paw came out wonderfully and even has a bit of her fur embedded inside. Would 100% recommend the product to anyone wanting to memorialize their pet without paying the exorbitant prices of the vet paw print.

El material me llegó bien envasado, pero al trabajarlo no és como lo exponen, los tiempos no son los correctos ya que se endurece mucho más rápido que expressa en el texto informativo.

Easy to use, and easy clean up! Will definitely buy again, probably in a larger size. I bought 2 kits to experiment with. I was hoping to "hand cast" my little boy, and wound up having to use it myself first in order to incite his interest. I squeezed a little too hard while removing my (large) hand and then got too excited removing the cast of my sons! My casting was amazing in detail and only a couple of the fingertips were messed up. My son's would have been perfect - except I broke all the fingers off - after I had revealed enough to show how perfect his little thumb turned out! My son has already jumped on board and listed the relatives who need a casting of his hands. We'll try a few more times! Awesome product, and we didn't even watch the video for what are probably very helpful directions (no dvd player).

It's all it promises excellent kit

I managed to get two fidgety kids, 4 and 7, to keep their hands still long enough to make a perfect mold, so I'd say pretty much anyone can get a good result. You do have to act fast with the mixing of the mold material, because it starts hardening immediately, but the instructions make that very clear. Just get everything set up before you mix and be ready to act fast!
