Silicone is actually surprisingly expensive.

I’ve done cast stone… poured into cast silicone… which was cast from 3D printer molds… which was printed from my own 3D models… and silicone was by far the most expensive part.

It only made sense because I was casting a lot of stone molds.




use latex, and if it's big enough, back it with fiberglass. that seems to be the common way to make molds on youtube
