How do you use alginate powder?
After measuring and weighing, stir the alginate powder and the water with a small mixer at a low speed of no more than 200-300 rpm. Manual mixing is also possible, but we recommend this only for small quantities as mechanical mixing gives a better result. Then apply the mixture to the skin or model in a flowing motion.
