Casting figures using liquid rubber was popular long before the new silicone molds hit the shops! Make your own mold and never have to gnash your teeth again because the shop doesn’t have what you are looking for. I have molds for casting plaster, shaping soap (never used yet) make Fimo clay figures and yet what I actually like and what’s available in the shops has but a small overlap. This Workbasket gets bookmarked on the to-do list!
