it would take a bit or xperimenting, but plain old hot melt glue can and will capture the finest detail you can create. i'd assume these "castings" could be used to make prints, if nothin else.

I am familiar with their range of products. Lots of choices on setting times, whether you need vacuum or pressure, etc. I was just wondering which set of them that you used to make the initial mold and then make your castings.
