[Nfb-krafters-korner] Introduction: Robert Jaquiss

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Audrey and list:

     VIEW International Foundation does not sell mold making products. We 
currently have two items for sale. The first is the book Touch The Sun by 
Noreen Grice. The price is $35. It can be ordered from Amazon.com with the 
link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0309095603
or ordered directly from VIEW. Our other product is a collection of files 
used to create tactile diagrams on 10 CDs. The link for more information on 
this product is:
http://www.viewinternational.org/diagrams.htm

     If you want some good mold making products, I suggest the following two 
places to start:

Smooth-on
http://www.smoothon.com/
sells a wide variety of silicone, foam and epoxy materials. They have life
cast kits and numerous other items including how-to videos.

Silpak Inc.
http://www.silpak.com/
Also has a wide variety of materials. I do suggest caution when working with 
silicone rubber, epoxies etc. Follow the instructions carefully and if you 
are not absolutely sure on how to use an alternative technique, get sighted 
help. Some of this stuff is not good to get on skin. Happy crafting.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss
