I've tried using that on various occasions. I honestly don't know why they make it any more. It's been absolute crap for me every time. The key problem is that the dry mix does not stay bonded to the water well and the mixed mold begins to "leak" almost instantly.

I tried heating the water, cooling it, heating the mold after I made it, using less water and more powder and every time it leaked too much.

Alginate is the way to go. It bonds to the water perfectly.
