You may want to try Rainbow 10 in Japan. I think they carry his products.
i try a few search at rainbow 10 website but there is none of it on stocks. I will email them later to find out.

A cheaper alternative would be Gunze Sangyo's Mr. Surfacer. While I am sure Cast-a-Coat presents several advantages, Mr. Surfacer will also allow you to build up great cast textures. You may find it more readily available on your side of the globe, and it will certainly be more economical.

Our own Vodnik wrote a nice article on using Mr. Surfacer to texture model surfaces...

Then to be really economical, or if you can't get or afford the other stuff...... good old fashion cheap liquid cement works rather well.
brush a little on what you want to get the cast effect to, then stiple with a stiff brush, the softened plastic will take on a cast effect.
Let dry several days, then give a little gentle rub down with a little fine steel wool, or green scrubby pad to remove any hanging on stringy things.
Just have a window open, since the fumes can get pretty strong doing this. I usually will have a small fan exhusting out the window.
thanks old man...
that's a good tip for me to try with a scrap plastic
