I have found some, but not a lot. I found a site on line that sells it for $26 a pound. That's w/o shipping and I think it's a quart, but they don't say, it's just a pound. I've exhausted the phone book here, and am about to start harrasing a local molding company if I can't find another source. Anyone have a lead where I could find a gal. or 1/2 gal. of the stuff?
Here is the link for Tap plastics. They have everything you need for molding, and at resonable prices.

Anyone know of a good online source for Molding and casting materials? I'm looking for something easy to work with but super hard for molds. Any Ideas?? Hydra-cal maybe?
Thanks

Try www.polytek.com
They have the silicones etc. I buy my hydrocal locally thru a cement retailer. I would suggest trying that.
Its much cheaper. I wouldnt suggest shipping this stuff due to the wt.

I like www.Smoothon.com. Great customer service, fast shipment and cheap prices.
Thx for the fast reply's. I'll try calling a cement retailer. Does a place like Home Depot carry Hydra-cal? Is this the best stuff for molds? I tried plaster O' Paris just dinkin around and its mich too soft. Details come off with the object when you release it, even with an agent.
