IMPORTANT: Do not add too much water to the powder mixtures or they will NOT set correctly and your casting will not be successful.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mix the molding powder with 3 to 3.2 times the amount of powder (300 to 320 mL). Stir quickly until mixture is as smooth as possible. The mixture will turn a purple/pink color.Remember not to add too much water to the mixture.
2. After 1 minute, place baby's hand or foot into this purple molding mixture at once. Please make sure the hand or foot is completely submerged, and doesn't break the surface of the mixture or touch the edge of cup.
3. Try to keep your baby's hand or foot as still as possible while the molding mixture is setting.
4. Hold your baby's foot in the mold for 240 more seconds to ensure the mold is fully set, then you can very carefully and smoothly remove their hand or foot from the mold.
5. To ensure a smooth release from the mold, wiggle slightly back and forth so that air can enter the opening of the mold.
6. Once the hand or foot has been removed, Open bag of plaster powder 50g, and mix with 1/3 to 1/2 of the amount of water (80 to 90 mL). Stir as quickly until the mixture is as smooth as possible.Do not add too much water to the stone powder. The higher the concentration the stronger the casting will be.
7. Slowly pour the stone powder mixture into the opening of the mold.Gently jiggle the mold while pouring to ensure the liquid enters all the tiny areas and to avoid air becoming trapped inside creating air bubbles.
