Use our Algislo the all purpose alginate studio tool. It will dissolve dried
alginate and you can dab it clean
Warmest regards

Cleaning alginate off:--
I'm basically a plaster-mould plaster moulding person, who only now and
then uses alginate.
Just used it (alginate) for some pieces with not only fine detail, but
fairly convoluted surfaces. Quite often I get the mould off in one piece
and no problem. Sometimes I end up breaking the alginate off in chunks and
then using a dental pick to go round looking for 'little blue bits'. (Better
use of release agents would help, I know!)
So is it pure experience or is their some knack: thickness of alginate (in
inches), mostness (thickness in fluidity), at some point saying "what the
****" and leaving it to dry and then brushing off the tiny bits that are
left , .... Are traces best removed one at a time with dental instruments
soaked and washed-off en masse, left to dry and brushed off, ...?
Even trying to clean alginate dregs out of a silicone plaster bowl I seem to
have days when it all comes out nice and easy, and days where soaking and
multiple washing are needed.
