How to organize a live show step by step
1. Preparing the area
Choose a quiet, well-visible, but not centrally located space. Set up an elegant table with:
-
The Love Cast Kit
-
A protective tablecloth
-
Bowls of water
-
Towels
-
A small sign that reads “A sculpture of love is about to be born”
2. Involvement
Briefly explain what's about to happen, perhaps using the celebrant's or presenter's voice. You can explain the meaning of the gesture: "As these hands clasp today, so they will remain united forever in a sculpture that will tell the story of this promise."
3. Creating the mold with alginate
Ask the bride and groom to join their hands in a natural, affectionate, yet firm manner. Pour the previously mixed alginate into a suitable container and immerse their hands. It will solidify in about 3 minutes.
4. Removal and applause
Once hardened, the hands can be gently removed, leaving a perfect cavity inside the mold. The audience can applaud: it's the perfect moment for a photo.
5. Casting with Aqua Resin
Slowly pour in the Aqua Resin in the mold, already ready with the right proportions (100 g of powder + 50 g of water or Aqua Shield ). In about an hour the object will be ready to be unmolded.
You can unmold it directly during the reception or deliver it later.
