Procedure
Place a form around the impression, if needed (Fig. 8) Pour the mixture onto the large spoon or stirring stick while holding the spoon or stick to the side of the impression. (Fig. 9,10) Allow the impression to dry a minimum of 30 minutes. Pertinent information, case number, date, time, location, etc. can be written on the cast after it is dry. (Fig. 16) |

| Carefully remove the form from the cast. (Fig. 11) The cast must be carefully lifted. (Fig. 12) Place a knife one inch from the form and stick it directly into the ground under the cast. Gently pry upwards. This should allow the cast to break free cleanly from the surface. | |
