QUESTION: I forgot to mention I was looking for a ceramic mold..I have plenty of the ones from e-bay, but they are not CERAMIC molds.  Thanks

Answer
Cheryl,
Have you tried the mold companies? Duncan? Gare? It's been a while since I've poured molds. It can be very confusing finding a mold now, even if you know who made the mold. So many of the companies have merged, been bought out, acquired.

Starlite has many of the main companies. You might start with them.
Mackie has Booth, Holland, Whitehorse, Atlantic...

If you totally run into dead ends with those two, try this unknown gem of an expert; Robert Petro at Petro molds. He's a gem I discovered recently. He's very knowledgeable, extremely gracious. He and his wife own Petro molds.  His e-mail is; Petro@velocity.net

Happy hunting, Leisha
