Step 4Set & Demold the Alginate Mold
Allow the alginate to set (usually about 5-10 minutes)--as it sets, it will change from a liquid to solid with a firm tofu-like consistency.
Once set, turn the container over and cut or remove the thread or wire holding the part to the bottom of the container. Then cut away the bottom of the container (if possible) to remove it; if you can't remove the bottom, invert the container and remove the alginate mold (and part).
Once inverted, gently remove the pig's foot (or other part) and discard the foot.
Since the alginate mold will dry and deteriorate fairly quickly, move on to the next step quickly.
