Hand casting is generally done by mixing alginate, putting into a "bucket" and sticking your hand into the alginate.

Of course you can find your own buckets but we've developed these three for your convenience.

We've put a slit all the way up the side of the bucket and taped it closed so when you're ready to de-mold, you just remove the tape, open up the side and slide it off. You won't know what an advantage that is until you struggle for half an hour trying to get your alginate mold out of some other bucket.

Reusable- just tape up the side and you're ready to go.
