Kits? No!
What About Handcasting Kits I See Advertised on the Internet?
We've seen them too. Handcasting kits that promise you that you can do it yourself. We don't recommend them and here's why:
Laura and Cindi have been asked to repair some castings that people have made from kits. The kits are advertised as though anyone can take some gel, make a mold, fill it up with casting material, and make a beautiful hand casting. Frequently these kit castings have missing fingertips and other defects.
Unfortunately, by the time people figure out that their kit casting doesn't look good, the moment they were trying to capture has passed. They are stuck with a funny looking, defective casting and the baby hand no longer looks like it did a few months ago. Now is the time to capture the moment and to do it right!
Laura and Cindi have been trained in all the ins-and-outs of the handcasting business. They know how to get the fingertips and they know how to properly finish and prepare a casting for display.
You could spend as much on a kit as you do on a professionally-done handcasting from Handcast Treasures. You might spend as much or more for repair or completion of your kit casting as you would have for a Handcast Treasures casting in the first place. Why not get it done right the first time?
If you have a bad casting from a kit, we'd be happy to look at it and see if we can fix it. Perhaps it was done recently and we can do a new casting for you that will capture the moment in time you were trying to capture with the kit. Come to Handcast Treasures first and get it done right.
