Topic Subject : Alginate molds |
|
Greetings again all.
I am about to attempt my first alginate mold. I feel ready but there is one thing I am not clear on. That is the degree of give or flex that the plaster bandage mother mold is capable of.
If for example I was to mold an orange. And the cross section of the orange had designations as in a clock, to what degree of an undercut can I go with the plaster?
E.g., I start at 12 and wrap down . .at least to 9 and 3 .. that would be the half way point. Can I go to 8 and 4? How about 7 and 5?
I have seen pictures online of person's laying on their back .. and it appears that their head is covered in alginate and then the bandages . .down to the level of the table. Is this correct?
Thanks for any information you can share with me.
Debra
