Once you have created a smooth alginate mix, the hand is inserted into the conatiner holding the PC mouse. A helper steadies the hand so that it stays in the middle while the MoldGel sets. This process takes 4-5 minutes.

The helper raps on the outside of the container for several minutes helping trapped air escape to the surface.
