How can I make a container-type Algiform Regular Set hand mold?
A. In order to create a mold of a single hand, a cylinder-type of form can be made out of some flexible material (such as SIMPLAFLEX). The diameter of a cylinder to accomodate an average size hand would be about 5 1/2 to 5 3/4 inches. The length of the cylinder should be about 12-inches to 13-inches, (to include the wrist or slightly above the wrist.) If you have an above-average size hand, or are holding an object, your cylinder will have to be made larger in diameter, and you may have to use a longer cylinder. You wil need anywhere from one-and one-half to two-pounds of ALGIFORM Regular Set for this size of cylinder.
