    Shopping for a new custom art materials store.

    Im quitting Monster Makers and need to find the following elsewhere:

    The stuff I use is just called Monster Cast ( Hard white resin) Monster Mold (blue silicone) and Mask Latex ( latex rubber)

    Any suggestions of a new company and what the products to order?

    Thanks all!

      Smooth-On works, as does Micro-Mark (link to white resin) and (link to mold silicone) and if you want to get super fancy, you could try casting plastic that allows you to add color pigment

        We just placed an order for the Micro-Mark resin and silicone.

        I've always had a hard time mixing colors consistently... Where can I get a caucasian flesh tone pigment??

        Thanks!

          Hmmmm....

          Smooth-On stuff is pretty good. I get my material from 3D Plastic, in Alberta. I use GI1000 RTV silicone for my molds, and EasyFlo 60 for casts.

            I use Smooth On. I love the 310 resin that takes an hour to set.

              I have to pre-batch mine... It ended up being a combination of brown and red (probably 2:1, maybe?) with a sprinkling of yellow to taste and a white/yellow/white chaser to lighten it up... I just throw the color together until I get what I want and keep it in a sealed little rubbermaid jar. It's a sad day when I finally finish the blended stock and have to remix.
