Step 5Mix & Pour the Plaster

Mix & Pour the Plaster
Mix plaster and cold water immediately after alginate mold is set. Mix plaster and water with your hands or with a rubber spatula until well combined and it reaches a pancake batter-like consistency. If you get distracted and the plaster starts to harden before you've poured it, throw it out and mix fresh plaster--don't try to add more water to soften it.

After mixing the plaster, pour it into the alginate mold and fill to the top.

Tap the sides to release any bubbles in the plaster--if you still see bubbles on the top, you may need to pop them.
