Yes however Resin will eventually destroy your molds...

Resin is avalible at most art stores and online. For example my local Michaels carries Resin.

I use Alumilite stuff. This website has both the silicon rubber and casting resins. It also has detailed videos on how to do every step of the casting process.

I use Smooth-on products, Mold Max 30 or 40 and Smooth-Cast® 300.

They have great tutorials on their website and after a couple casts I was producing great casts..

Make sure you use a good mold release agent like http://www.utrechtart.com/dsp_view_product.cfm?item=62028

I will take a feather brush and brush baby powder into the mold, then shake it out really well, spray mold release, and then inject the resin with a cooking syringe
