[sdiy] Duplicating plastic parts - remanufacture?

[Theo]

There are companies who can duplicate plastic parts for you all over the
place.
Almost all "plastic part prototyping" companies can do this, they're in the
yellow pages.
However their services usually don't come cheap.

There are DIY resin kits for around $80 or so.
Link below is to a place that sells resin kits online.

Epoxy clay might be another option.
There are several sources for "artistic" epoxy clays online.
But your local hardware store also sells the stuff,
"Bison epoxy stick"  is a example.
