ABSTRACT:
A kit and a method for using the kit to form a positive impression of an animal track and the like. The kit is lightweight, preferably weighing less than two pounds, is compact and easily transported by a hiker. The kit includes a supply of impression material and an adjustable strip which is used to form a circular frame or margin around the track to contain the impression material. The kit also includes a container which may be of a cardboard type of material and a flexible, waterproof bag to contain the impression material. The bag, which contains between a half a pound and one and a half pounds of impression material, may be used to mix the impression material with water being added. Once a track is found, the adjustable strip including a band of biodegradable material with an impression material-releasing surface is placed around the track to contain the impression material. The impression material is mixed by slowly adding a sufficient amount of water to the bag and sealing the bag and kneading until it reaches the proper consistency. The impression material is then poured into the band to completely cover the track. Once the impression material hardens, the band may be removed and the impression material retains a positive impression of the animal track on its bottom surface. The size of the marginal band can be adjusted to standardize sizing and facilitate ease of handling and filling.
