Our Products

Essential Casting Materials

Alginate: Available in Fast Setting and Slow Setting, BabyRice Skin Safe Alginate is a high quality 3D impression mould compound that replicates finely detailed impressions. Perfect for creating baby hand and foot moulds, as well as pet paw print impressions, family holding hands moulds and adult / couple hand casts and any other body part you want to capture an exact impression of to make a 3D cast!

Stone Casting Plaster: For lifelong, strong and durable casts you need a strong stone based casting plaster. BabyRice only supplies Herculite II, a strong stone based plaster known for producing hard and durable casts. This makes it a perfect plaster for producing 3d plaster casts which are often subject to lots of handling. Another advantage of Herculite II Plaster is that it produces a very white colour cast, making it the perfect base for one of our stunning paint finishes.

Metallic Paints and waxes: BabyRice has a wide selection of shimmertastic metallic paints, which are the quickest and easiest finishing option for hands and feet plaster castings. For an authentic vintage metal finish, BabyRice's Metallic Waxes with Base Paint produce a premium 2 tone finish, which is popular with both baby and foot casts and adult hand casts.

BabyRice own brand alginate, strong casting plaster, paints and waxes are the core components of every 3d life casting project. We carry large stocks of all these essentials in our large, centrally located warehouse, so we can despatch most orders within 24 hours*.
