Kraftify™ Molding Powder for Hand & Foot Casting - (Only Powder)

• Too thin or too thick a mix can cause lumpiness. If the mix is too thin, there isn't enough internal friction to work out the dry spots in the mix. If the mix is too thick, there isn't enough water to do the same. Careful measuring is critical.
• Use Cold water to increase the setting time of Molding mix. Cold water makes Molding Powder set slower. Please do not use warm water for mixing Molding powder, otherwise it will decrease setting time of mixture.
• Measure carefully, use good water and a good mixing technique and you'll be fine. We test our Molding Powder rigorously and we don't let bad product out of our warehouse.

1. What is a couple hand casting kit?
A couple hand casting kit is a DIY kit designed to capture the intricate details of a couple's hands clasped together in a durable and decorative sculpture. It typically includes all the materials and instructions needed to create a memorable keepsake.

2. What does the couple hand casting process involve?
The process involves mixing a molding compound, placing your hands in the compound, allowing it to set, and then pouring a casting material into the mold to create the final sculpture.

3. Is it safe to use?
Yes, our couple hand casting kits are made with non-toxic materials that are safe for skin contact. However, it's essential to follow the instructions carefully to ensure safety and proper usage.

4. How long does it take to complete the casting process?
The casting process typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, including mixing the molding compound, making the mold, and pouring the casting material. However, the drying or setting time for the materials can vary, so it may take several hours for the sculpture to fully cure.

5. Can we customize our hand sculpture?
Yes, our kits allow for customization by offering options such as different finishes (e.g., metallic, marble), applying color to the casting, or including accessories like a display stand.

6. How durable is the final sculpture?
The durability of the final sculpture depends on the casting material used. Plaster of Paris casts may be more prone to chipping or breaking than those made with casting stone powder. Casts made up from our casting material are more sturdy and durable than casts from Plaster of Paris. When handled with care, our casts can last for years as a cherished keepsake.

7. Can we cast other body parts besides hands?
While couple hand casting kits are specifically designed for capturing hand molds, there are kits available for casting other body parts such as faces, torsos, or even entire bodies. However, these may require more advanced techniques and additional materials.

8. Are there any special considerations for successful casting?
It's essential to ensure that both participants are comfortable and follow the instructions closely to achieve the best results. This includes properly mixing the molding compound, keeping hands steady during the casting process, and allowing enough time for the materials to set and cure.

9. Can we redo the casting if we make a mistake?
It's always a good idea to read the kit's instructions carefully and practice with testing kits first if possible before attempting the final casting.
