Procedure
We use a skin safe material that captures and reproduces perfect details directly from any body part.
The casting procedure is usually done 3 to 6 weeks before the due date. The entire casting process takes approximately 50 minutes depending on how much of your body you want to cast. You will be placed in a comfortable position. Most women are unclothed to get an exact replica of their bodies. However, wearing undergarment is an option as well. A member of your family either mother, sister, friend, or husband is more than welcome.
A very soft and body safe material called alginate is put on the skin; after it sets it is rubbery, but still delicate. A shell of plaster bandages are put over this layer. The shell helps to keep the alginate from flopping around after it has been taken off. These two layers are taken off together and form a bowl that is an exact negative of the body part. Hydro Cal White, which is a strong, high-quality plaster-like material, is poured into this bowl and moved around to remove all of the air pockets. After the Hydro Cal White has set, the alginate and plaster bandages are removed and thrown away, as they can only be used once.
Benefits of this material: This is the most gentle method, it’s safe, and will give you excellent details, right down to every pore and blemish. Body hair is no problem as alginate will gently pull off hair.
Be aware of the plaster bandages place directly over your skin: solid plaster generates heat when the plaster hardens. This can cause up to second degree burns. Don't use solid plaster directly on the skin under any condition.
