Topic Subject : RE: A new topic has been added-Sticking alginate

Baby oil will not cause the alginate to simply slide off. Just a thin film
applied to the model is required to allow easy removal of the mother mold.

------------Silica-Free & Oh So GREEN------->

NEW! MoldGel SILFREE. A revolutionary formula.
Made with all food-grade ingredients. It nourishes
the earth when discarded. 3-to-1 mix ratio yields
twice the volume as those 1-to-1 brands. Delayed
shrinkage for delayed casting - so creamy smooth, too.

Sticking alginate:--
Help me please on the last two casts I have taken the alginate has stuck to
the models skin so much that it tears and turns inside out when I try to
remove the mould, if I get the model to apply baby oil first will the
alginate stay in place or just slide off onto the floor?any advice please as
this is getting frustrating as I dont like to waste the models time not to
mention the cost involved with alginate and plaster
Best regards Wayne
