Uses of sodium alginate?
I use it to make molds of objects so that I can cast them later. For instance, Mixing alginate with water will create a thick toothpaste like consistency. While the substance is still wet, you can press objects into it, such as hands, creating a mold. After a few minutes the alginate sets and you can remove your hand. There will be a very fine detailed mold that contains even the fine lines from your hand. Use plaster of Paris to make a cast.
