alginate / pro cast

Hi
I can't access the archives for the alginate thread and I am looking
for a product (alginate) called pro cast. I have found it on the web with an
Anaheim, California listing but they have gone out of business. We have used
this product before and it is very forgiving and low tech. Current products
are runny and temperature sensitive. We are doing death masks with plaster
mother molds and clay and / or latex reverse molds. From that we will do a
series with or any other medium that translates from a liquid to a solid.
Dentist supply stores are not an option because some people have a reaction
to the peppermint in that alginate. I apologize - I thought I had saved
previous info and the archives won't let me access the pages I need. Thanks
in advance, Dawn
