Hi All , while looking for some items for my Wallace and Gromit conversion , I found this in the resin section of Hobby Craft store in Nottingham , It is a two part Silicone Moulding paste and comes in two sealed clear plastic drums , each 100 grms . Mix in equal parts it sets in 10 minutes and you can obtain 50 resin casting per mold. Cost is £9-99 . it is made under the trade name of Siligum and is made by Gedeo, service consommatuers , 305, Avenue du pic de Bretagne , 13420 Gemenos , France. Tried it out ant true to it's word it set in 10 minutes . just need a good dry day to test out the resin reproduction . I will let you know how I go on cheers ian

I have never heard of this stuff before. I will be interested in hearing how the parts turn out.

I found a similer product in my local hobby lobby,don't remember the name and I'm upstair away from my work room,but it sounds identicle to what you are describing.I have used quite a bit when I need to make small resin copies of items.and found it to be a great time saver in that I don't have to dig out my measuring
cups and wait the 30-45 minutes it to set as I do with my silicon mold maker liquids.It can sure be a blessing.I love the stuff,and for 15.00usd the price is sure right.
