My only advice would be to thoroughly investigate release agents to put on peoples' hands. Wet concrete can be really sticky and if a release agent isn't used, the imprint won't be clear.

We are going to attempt a “wet cement” handprint/signature element on March 28 alongside of a permanent sculpture. Has anyone else done this? I am seeking advice about your process, materials (is there a specific type of cement you used? Did you use a retarder?), timing, and any other words of wisdom.

 

Thank you!
