plaster cast of my baby’s hand?
How do I make a plaster of paris cast of my baby’s hand? I want to make a mold that i pour the plaster of paris into and when it dries i will break the mold off and have a little plaster hand. What can I use for the mold?
You might prefer to use alginate to make the mold
It is a material used for making dental molds. The mold does not last more than a day
Here are 2 places you can get kits with alginate

go to the on line cataloge
pick body casting
look for Hollywood Impressions
also look at the other Mold Gel Kits
