## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this work for life saying your face?**
A: Yes, but you would need to purchase additional plaster bandages.  This kit does not come with plaster bandages.

**Q: I am wanting to make a mold of 3 people holding each other's wrists(triangle shape). Will I need 2 kits? Is it safe to use over jewelry?**
A: We would recommend two kits - you will also need plaster bandages.  It is probably more cost effective to by the alginate in the 3# box.  As for jewelry, some stones can bond, we recommend you test first.

**Q: is there a kit for the hand of two people?**
A: You may want to look into the Alja Safe in the 3# box.

**Q: Does the amount of alginate in the kit fit in the container it came with or is it more volume than the container if I mix it all with water?**
A: Yes it fit but depending on what you’re doing you may need more than one kit .

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another fun experiment with my almost 4yr old!
*by J***J on October 15, 2016*

Easy to use, and easy clean up! Will definitely buy again, probably in a larger size. I bought 2 kits to experiment with. I was hoping to "hand cast" my little boy, and wound up having to use it myself first in order to incite his interest. I squeezed a little too hard while removing my (large) hand and then got too excited removing the cast of my sons! My casting was amazing in detail and only a couple of the fingertips were messed up. My son's would have been perfect - except I broke all the fingers off - after I had revealed enough to show how perfect his little thumb turned out! My son has already jumped on board and listed the relatives who need a casting of his hands. We'll try a few more times! Awesome product, and we didn't even watch the video for what are probably very helpful directions (no dvd player).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life Casting made easy
*by T***Y on May 16, 2010*

I have never done an art project of this sort before but I thought it would be a cool thing to do with my son. I watched the dvd that came with it which really helped. Also if you look up Smooth-On's website they have a bunch of other videos and demos for other products. I first made a test mold of my finger so I understood the process (recommended) and then made a mold of my sons hand. He thought it was really cool. It was enough alginate for the finger and the hand but that's about it. There was more than enough plaster.I would recommend this for anyone. Great product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy to use with great instructions.
*by B***N on April 29, 2023*

I didn't know what to expect with hand casting. This kit made it easy and fun for a 10 year old. Fabulous instructions. The venture went smoothly and produced a fun memento. One star off because I was surprised at how it was so pricey.
