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 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. Click

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)
