Core Ingredients

  • Tetrasodium Phosphate

    Precisely controlling the setting time of the alginate gel allows for more comfortable working time during hand mold making, while also improving the gel's toughness, preventing damage during demolding, and securely capturing every delicate detail of the hand's texture.

  • Potassium Alginate

    The core gel matrix of this hand mold powder is composed of food-grade polysaccharides extracted from natural brown algae. Upon contact with water, it quickly forms a highly elastic and flexible gel mold, which is key to accurately capturing hand details. The resulting texture is clear and resistant to deformation.

  • Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate

    This non-toxic, inert mineral component is the core base material for hand-molded casting plaster. It hydrates and hardens rapidly upon contact with water, resulting in a hard, dimensionally stable finished product. It is crucial for creating durable, wear-resistant three-dimensional hand molds.

    Capture emotional moments, creating high-fidelity memories.

    1. High-detail retention of hand features：

    Using a high-quality alginate mixed formula, it can accurately capture fingerprints and skin textures, and also clearly reproduce details of rings, bracelets, and other accessories.

    2. Safe for all ages:

    The product uses a non-toxic formula, gentle and non-irritating, allowing children, the elderly, and other sensitive groups to use it safely. The process requires only three steps: soaking, pouring, and peeling. With the included paper instructions and video tutorial, no professional skills are needed to complete it.

    3. Create a personalized gift：

    Unlike ordinary finished products, the DIY nature of this kit makes the gift more unique and heartfelt, making it suitable as a gift for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, weddings, birthdays, and other occasions.

    Operating Steps

    • Soak your hands in the bucket of water for 5-6 minutes. It's very simple.

    • Pour the casting liquid into the mold, tilting and gently tapping to fill your mold.

    • Have fun peeling the mold away from the cast. Let dry in a well ventilated area.

    • Dry in a ventilated place for 5-7 days, then sand the surface until smooth after it is dry.

      It's an unforgettable gift for Mother's Day, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, baby keepsakes, family milestones, or even memorials. It’s ideal for anyone wanting to celebrate love or preserve precious family memories.

      Does it have to dry for 5–7 days? Can it be sped up?

      It is recommended to ventilate and dry strictly for 5–7 days; accelerating the process is not advised.
      The moisture inside the plaster needs to evaporate naturally. Speeding up the process (using a hairdryer, oven, or direct sunlight) can easily cause cracking, deformation, and uneven whitening.
      After drying, sand with coarse sandpaper followed by fine sandpaper to remove rough edges and improve texture. Afterwards, you can spray clear varnish, add color, or frame it.

      Is it suitable as a gift? Who is it suitable for?

      It's perfectly suitable, a "heartwarming commemorative gift":
      For couples/spouses: Wedding, anniversary, engagement;

      For friends: Graduation ceremonies, best friend/brother anniversaries, housewarming.
      The DIY process is interactive, and the finished product is a family keepsake, making it more meaningful than ordinary gifts.
