Materials Needed for Belly Casting

Video Transcript

"In this clip, I'm going to talk about what you need to complete a belly casting. First off, it's a messy procedure, so you want to make sure that you have a drop cloth to put on the floor. You also need plaster and we prefer to get medical grade plaster. It holds up much better than craft plaster that you can get a craft store. Scissors, gloves and, if you have any allergies, you want to make sure that you make sure that they're not latex gloves in case you have an allergy, and petroleum jelly to coat the area that you are going to be casting. We also have a kit available that has all those items included in it and there's many places to get this kit. And it also contains things to finish a belly, gesso, varnish, sandpaper and a sponge for the application of varnish and gesso. So, in this clip, we discussed what you actually need to start the belly casting."
