Question 1

Will the 4 person family kit work for two adults, one young adult (age 21), and one tween (age 12)?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for the question! In terms of hand size, that will probably be similar to four adults, which is on the borderline, depending on your chosen hand position.

Our recommended possible combinations of 4 are:
2 adults & 2 children (age 4-12) 
1 adult & 3 children (Age 4-12)

While we recommend that you stick to the advertised age and number of people for our kits, some of our customers have achieved great results with four adult hands in the Family Kit. However, it’s really important to form a very compact handclasp together to avoid touching the edges of the bucket, so practice your handclasp before you start.  Or to be safe, you might want to get a Family Kit and a Family Refill kit so that you may make two casts and display them together.

Question 2

Can you tint the casting material before using?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend adding anything to the casting material before using. However, you may paint your cast once it is completely dry (1-2 weeks). We recommend using acrylic paints on your sculpture, as these are easy to apply at home, are usually water based and so are safe to use.

Question 3

I would also like a family of 5 kit. When do you think this will be available?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question! We are aiming to have the kits for 5-8 ready around Christmas time.

If you would like to purchase a Family Kit, please send us a private message after purchase and we will coordinate getting a refill bundle to you (at an introductory discounted rate) if you would like to try out making two separate casts for display together.

Best,

Sam

Question 4

How many kits do you need for the l o v e hands?

Accepted Answer

We used 4 separate Couples Kits, but this can also be done using 2 Family Kits (or a Family Kit + Family Refill Kit - if you don't mind staggering them time-wise). Just be sure none of the hands are touching each other during the molding process.
