Not cheap either, but may compare favourably. http://www.modelshop.co.uk/ Mike Sun, 05 Jul 2009 22:54:06 GMT Zurik http://groups.yahoo.com/group/1listSculpting/message/39921 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/1listSculpting/message/39921 Castaldo has a 2-part putty casting rtv "rubber" called Quik-sil.

If so, any tips on using this product?
