Compliant with EU and US safety standards, it safely captures intricate skin details, making it the go-to choice for studios and creative professionals seeking flawless, eco-friendly moulds. ## Description Alginart is used widely throughout the UK by pro-handcasting studios due to it superior quality and how well it captures the finest details. It is a standard set product, giving you 2 minutes mixing time and a further 1 minute to setting (total 3 min.) Its helpful to have extra mixing time to stop panic! This Is Chromatic Colour Change Alginate (colour changes to let you know where setting process is up to) Our alginate complies with the latest EU and USA product safety directives for use as a 3D lifecasting material. Made from 99% naturally derived ingredients including seaweed extracts. The great thing about using it as well is it changes colour as you work it, telling you what stage you should be at from mixing to applying to setting. What will you need to carry out a handcasting or footcasting project ? If you wish to put a hand/foot casting kit together yourself, as a guide 450g of Alginate will make up to 5 new baby hands or feet. The older the child, the bigger the hand/foot and the less moulding will be made from one bag. One 450g bag will make one large adult hand and for an adult foot you need at least two 450g bags. Remember the Alginate is for making the mould only. After making the mould you then need to make a casting from your mould, to do this we recommend stone casting plaster. Review: I love my model. - Love it came out just as I wanted. I used two bags of 450g aliginate to make my holding hands model and cut the top off a 5 litre water bottle. It was actually too much mix because as we put out hands in it was over flowing but no big deal, better to have too much than too little. With some of the reviews I was extremely paranoid about mixing and getting our hands in the mould quick. We decided to use cold water because we had nothing to determine the exact temperature. This worked out to our advantage, upon mixing very very quickly then getting our hands in the mould within 1 an half minutes we realized it was taking a while to set, it occurred to us we could have had extra minute mixing where we had used cold water. I should also add within the panic we didn't really mix the aliginate very well, There was lumps of unmixed alginate in places. This did concern me but as you can see bad mixing didn't effect the end result. I would say don't be too concerned about getting a perfect mix. We only needed 1kg of stone to fill the model. After 4 hours we removed the mold. The model was near perfect apart from a few bubbles of stone which had attached itself to the model. (possibly where the alginate wasn't mixed properly). This was easy to rectify, I just used a tooth pick to scrap it off.. It's myself and my Husbands 30th anniversary this year so what a great keepsake to mark the year. The model actually looked great white but I had already decided I would paint it. I painted my hand champagne gold and my husband's rose gold ( 3 coats). I still wanted more sparkle so to seal it I used Mod Podge 8 oz Sparkle Waterbase Sealer, Glue and Finish, Clear Review: Great product - These are very strong to wrap around nails to use with acetone to successfully remove gel nail polish ## Features - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - BAG SIZE - 450g.

They appear to have a limited lifespan so this material may not suit for long term high repeat use. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/68834527-8-x-450g-alginart-chromatic-alginate-moulding-impression-compound-hand](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/68834527-8-x-450g-alginart-chromatic-alginate-moulding-impression-compound-hand) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
