Step 5Attach your rig
If your rig for casting requires any special attachment to your selected body part, you are going to want to attach it before mixing the dermagel. Place the rig over the body part, making sure that its walls are not coming into contact with anything they shouldn't (i.e. anything that will interfere with the casting process or that will ruin the outcome of your cast), then tape it in place with duct tape.
Make sure that all edges are well-sealed with the tape or your rig will leak, creating not only a terrible mess, but also potentially traumatizing the person being casted (dermagel is cold, and has a thick, slimy consistency). If you're being body casted anywhere but an appendage that can just be shoved into a container, leakage is not pleasant. When in doubt, use more duct tape than less.

It is normal to mix the alginate with tepid water!

Is there any way to heat the dermagel, or will that make is unstable? I figure if the gel was at least warm it might be a little less uncomfortable...
