"Mix-In-The-Bag" Alginate

The easiest and neatest way to mix alginate is in a bag. This is how we recommend mixing in our Hand Casting Kits and our Torso Casting Kit.

We have put together pre-weighed bags of alginate specifically for doing hand casting in various sized buckets. Bags are 3-mil thick for strength.

The Small Alginate Bag is enough for a 1 quart bucket (Baby Hand Cast) Just add 3 cups (24 fl. oz.) of water and mix.
The Medium Alginate Bag is enough for a 4 quart bucket (Regular Hand Cast: 2 to 3 hands). Just add 3 quarts (96 fl. oz.) water and mix.
The Large Alginate Bag is enough for an 8 quart bucket (Large Hand Cast: 3 to 5 hands). Just add 6 quarts (192 fl. oz.) water and mix.

Just add water, grab the top of the bag tightly and mix against the table. Since there's no mixing bucket, whisk or jiffy mixer, cleanup is a snap.

Small Bag 6 oz. 380-CC Alginate (use small bucket)
$4.50
Medium Bag 22 oz. 570-PGV Alginate (use med. bucket)
$15.00
