Family, Grandparents, Couples, Anniversary Wedding Hands Casting Kit
Product Details:
 This kit contains the materials to do 1 casting of the following types: mom or dad & baby; wedding/anniversary hands; praying hands; grandparent and baby; 2-4 children holding hands, etc.
Which kit do I need - Keepsake Hands or Trophy Hands?
The main deciding factor would depend on whether you are casting a single hand or a pair of hands. Because of the larger bucket size and larger amounts of casting materials, the Keepsake Hands kit is best for casting a pair of hands (or a very large single hand) and the Trophy Hands kit is best for a single hand casting (whether or not you choose to add a base or hold an object).

Included with this kit: Plastic molding bucket, 1 bag of molding powder, 1 bag of casting stone, fine sandpaper, course sandpaper, demolding stick, detailing pin and detailed instructions. Optional: Sculpey clay to help preserve/strengthen long finger nails in the finished statue (put behind nails to make them 2-3 times as thick); finish options as listed above. [A "refill" (casting powders only) to create an additonal statue can be added to this complete kit at a discount- see selections above.]
Other Items Needed: Large rubber spatula or large plastic spoon for mixing molding material, liquid measuring cup, glass or disposable bowl for mixing casting stone
Making the Mold: The molding material is cool setting, nontoxic and non allergenic. Wiggling is not a problem as long the hands remain submerged in the molding material until it sets. The set time is about 3 minutes, which includes the mixing time. See the Product FAQs page for further details on how the material captures a detailed mold.

Finish Options (available at a discount with the purchase of this kit):
Glaze: The glaze is a water based triple-thick formula that goes on smoothly with no brush strokes and usually requires only 1 thin coat. It lends a bright, clear coating that gives the illusion of depth and creates a glazed ceramic look. It can be applied directly to the stone or over paint. (Full Price: $2.95)
Metallic Paints: The bronzing and pearl paints are water-based metallic acrylics. (Full Price: $2.95)
Bronze Finishing Kit: In addition to the 25ml of bronzing paint, included with this option is: 10 ml of metallic black, 10ml of glaze, 2 paint cloths, paint brush & instructions. The metallic black can be used to paint into the creases or other small areas to give your statue a more aged bronze look and the glaze can be used as the final coat. [This kit was used to finish the 'remote' hand.] (Full Price: $5.95)
