Fingerprint Mold Tips & Trivia

The fingerprint kit...

Fingerprint Charm Mold Tips:

· If the clay seems dry, roll it in a ball in between your palms to soften it. Then place it back on a flat surface and press the chosen finger in the softened clay.

· You can retry as many times as needed by rolling the clay back into a ball and repeating. The clay will not harden until it’s baked.

· To get a good print, sometimes it helps to imprint closer to the first crease of the finger as opposed to the tip.

· Please make 3 molds per order so that I have something to choose from to get the best impression.

· Once baked, write the clients name on the back of the molds & mail them back to me in a padded envelope for protection.

· If there are cracks or flaws on the mold, they will show up in the finished piece.

· Please make sure that some piece of fingerprint pattern shows up in the clay so that I can make a good charm for you.

· NOTE: You have purchased a piece of commissioned artwork. Each is a one-of-a-kind, mini-sculpture. As with fingerprints, no two will be exactly alike. The finished product is a direct result of the mold I receive from you.

· Due to the highly custom nature of this product there are no refunds, exchanges or returns based on expected finished outcome.
