Topic Subject : Hands & Feet Casting |
|
Hi there,
I'm new in the business of casting babies’ hands and feet. Please give me some advice on the following issues:-
1) How to avoid bubbles and holes in the plaster cast even though I have tried tapping the container dozen of times in order for the bubble to escape.
2) What is the best time to demold? I have try to demold after 3 hours, but sometime the surface of my hand cast is still wet (especially on rainy day) and i loose all the hand prints? Any idea why?
3) Should i touch up or repair my cast straight after demold or? I have tried to touch up the little holes straight after demold and i found that the cast is still very weak and i end up causing more damage. (Scratch all over the hand cast cause from my fingernail and toothpick when i was trying to get rid of the alginate)
4) What is the best way to touch up or repair holes, bubbles, missing finger and broken finger?
5) Should I apply the clear sealant before or after painting?
6) What is the best way to level the base of hand cast? Should I do it while it is still wet or when the cast is completely dry to avoid loosing the details?
Thank you.
Cheers
Su Bee
