latex molds - trilobites

[m]

hi everyone
i would like to buy latex molds of trilobites to replace our old ones which are perishing
does anyone know where i might be able to get them from or do i have to make them myself?
any tips greatly appreciated
thanks

Dear m,
you can buy rubber latex and cast your own moulds of your trilobites.
One latex/hardener supplier would be Serrata P/L.
I have been thinking of just making impressions of ours from plasticene and pouring Plaster of Paris into them. Perhaps then even painting them or staining with coffee.
I must make another impression of our only Archaeopteryx before it gets broken
