Casting resin and Silicone suppliers?

    I'm looking into prop/mask making, and have already done some pieces in latex. But since it's time to up the scale of my projects, I want to look into working with silicone. It looks sturdier from what I've seen online.
    what I HAVEN'T seen online are retailers in Ireland stocking the supplies I'm looking for. And this being Ireland, I seriously doubt any of the possibly toxic mixes will make it past customs.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Specifically, I'm after casting resin and the type of silicone that requires a mix A and B. Not the putty type. Urethane would be handy too.

    Thanks guys.

    I made friends with a few propmakers at MGM London Expo last October and they recommended MBFG, who are based in Newtownabbey in Northern Ireland, and also Moudlife in the UK. I've never used these materials or bought from these suppliers so it all went a bit over my head, but they did talk about polyurythene resin, silicone moulds and mixing of parts A and B.

    Good luck!
