BabyRiceChromatic (Colour Change) Alginate Impression Moulding Material Powder - just add Water 2kg Fast Set

The item was exactly what I needed. The alginate material performed flawlessly, perfectly capturing the intricate details of my daughter's tiny foot. The preparation process was a breeze, and the provided instructions were incredibly clear and straightforward. This product made the task not only convenient but also yielded fantastic results, preserving a precious memory with remarkable precision.

I used this to create a mould of my baby’s feet and it set in 2 minutes. Great at capturing fine details, as long as my baby can stay still in one minute. Worked well with stonecast. Happy with this!

The instructions that come with this alginate are not that great. They tell you to measure your powder by volume and then add the same volume of water. I personally find it easier to weigh the powder in grams and then add 3 times the amount of water in a large mixing bowl. So 100g of alginate powder requires 300g (or 300ml) of water.The instructions will also tell you to use water that is 30°C, which will cause your alginate to set insanely fast. Probably faster then you can even mix it and work with it. So it is perfectly OK to use cold tap water, which will slow down the curing process by a couple of minutes. Those extra minutes can be the difference of being ready in time for the cure or not.The white powder will turn bright pink as soon as you add the water (and smells minty too) after which you must mix like crazy until the powder is blended smooth with the water. You will benefit from a had mixer to do this fast enough and without lumps, so have it to hand before you start the process. Clean up requires scraping the alginate from the mixing blades after it has cured.Pour the mix into your form and cast the object immediately. The mix will turn from bright pink back to white as it firms up before your eyes. As soon as the alginate feels firm you can gently release the object and then cast immediately. Alginate starts to degrade rapidly from the moment it has cured, and will start to 'sweat' as it releases the water, so it's really not something you can prepare in advance. Alginate also traps air bubbles so rarely produces flawless casts. Be prepared for bubble defects on the surface of your castings.I have tried a few different brands of alginate and find them all to be more or less the same.

Very easy to use and comes with full instructions to follow. It took us a few attempts as if you don’t get the temperature right it does set quicker or faster than what it says. Doesn’t help my son kept moving haha great product though and got there in the end

Was ok but I couldn’t get the ratio correct, temperature was too hot so was too lumpy then not enough water in second one but started setting so couldn’t add any more

Great Alginate. If it was not for the shipping costs that are higher than the price of the item, I would buy more for several projects.It is pretty easy to mix (slowly with a wisk) and to apply, it is creamy and it sets fast but not too fast. I used it to cast a mold on my face without any assistance. It tastes mint and you do not want to get too much of it in your eyes.I did not use the color change information as my eyes were closed during the process.

Easy to mix, good quality and value for money.

Utilisé pour les empreintes de mains de mes enfants et parfait

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.Utilizzato per fare il calco di due mani di persone adulte. Io ho fatto in questo modo: preso un recipiente da 3 litri (altezza 15 cm, larghezza 17 cm), versato un litro e mezzo di acqua a temperatura ambiente (non a 30° come dicono istruzioni), inserito alginato e mescolato con un frullino elettrico fino ad ottenere una composto omogeneo e cremoso. Immerso mani fino al polso evitando di toccare bordi e fondo. Atteso che si solidificasse ed estratto arti. L'alginato da rosa diventa bianco. Per cui toccandolo si può verificare quanto sia diventato solido. Successivamente ho sciolto gesso alabastrino in acqua e versato nello stampo ottenuto. Una volta che il gesso è diventato duro, cappvolgere contenitore facendo uscire il tutto e togliere con molta attenzione l'alginato. Vedrete che bella opera d'arte...

Muy fácil de usar, las instrucciones te dicen que el agua tiene que estar caliente, pero lo mejor es hacerlo con agua fría, yo por cada 100 gr de alginato puse 300 ml de agua fría, se hace rosa y tiene olor a menta, cuando se endurece se despega muy rápido de la piel parece una gelatina muy dura

Idéal pour des moulages. Facile utiliser. Je recommande ce produit. Pas eu d’allergie.

Muy buenn material, bastante economico . Las huellas de tu bebe o tu infant o bien las tuyas salen muy bien
