Well, after so long wanting to use alginate in mold-making, I finally had a chance to see what all the fuss is about. Just a bit disappointment is all there was felt. I'm really not sure how it could possibly be of any use for me. The limited shelf life of the mold was unexpected, after about an hour parts were already becoming hard. The only real use I can foresee it the quick making of a positive to be further developed for a more permanent mold. That being said, the use of a soft mold is amazing and would definitely be something that I would like to explore given the chance and need for such.
