I did it with modrock, it doesn't take long but you must use plenty of vasiline to stop it sticking. My stuck as peeled away slowly and abit painfully (like a plaster) but did come off!
Don't make it thick either as it dries heavy.
It's incredible how big you look when you take it off!!! It' a good momento of your bump!

    I loved my bellycast!!! I used proud body and it worked out well... I think i was just about 30-32 weeks... somewhere in there. That's when I thought I couldn't get any bigger (I was sadly mistaken).

    I am listed in the "Proud body" belly cast gallery.

    www.proudbody.com/bellycastgallery.htm

    Mine is the first one listed under "Fairytale, movie, cartoon" category.

      I used this one too. We had lot's of fun, I just couldn't believe hubby totally enjoyed plastering my body. He had to make it as perfect as possible. Lot's and lot's of fun and totally relaxing for me.

    My hubby and I did a belly cast the night before we went into the hospital to have BabyGirl.
    We had gone to an orthopedic supply place and bought the plaster strips (strips with plaster already on them).
    All you do is wet them and place.
    VASELINE! VASELINE! VASELINE! YES!! Rozie hit that one on the head, lol......
    and the plaster does tend to get a bit cold, but nothing unbearable or that uncomfortable.
    I'm only half finished with the decorating. I used some of the flowers from bouquets we received and decoupaged them.
    It is so worth it!

      Thank you so much Tammie for that site - the artwork is brilliant. I had lots of ideas before but am now totally spoiled for choice. I think I'm gonna have to make another one! And yes - lots of VASELINE this time!
