Thanks for the info on the laminator and the plastic. I'm very
very curious about this plastic making method, and I'm going to
check out the casting newsgroup. Stephan are you over there already
too?
I know it's a little off topic, but can you tell me what these
products are exactly that you're using? Like the brand names of the
silicon and the tap plastic and where I might find them. Are they
art supplies, or more hardware/custom job shop type stuff?

Thanks very much for the info.
