Some Luna Bean casting statues will fit on a 6″ round with small to medium hands/wrists and/or in castings where the wrists are as one unit with no gaps. For castings that include larger hands/wrists, a third adult or a couple of children, you will need the larger 8″ square plaque. Attach with tacky wax, crazy/superglue, epoxy or even a screw. Tips: If using glues, first sand the base surface where the cast will be attached. If using a screw, place a screw receiver plug in the cast during the setting phase.

Step 3: Remove the stone statue from the mold. Other Items Needed From Home: Large rubber spatula or large plastic spoon for mixing molding material, liquid measuring cup, glass or disposable bowl for mixing casting stone Wiggling while making the mold is not a problem as long the hands remain submerged in the molding material until it sets. The set time is about 4 minutes, which includes the mixing time. Molding bucket dimensions: approximately 7.75″ Tall and 7.75″ in diameter at the top.
