I was placing my regular order of mold making and casting products and supplies on the EnvironMolds website. It was only after my credit card had been charged that I realized that I had mistakenly ordered 4 gallons of EnvironMolds liquid latex casting rubber.
As I mostly make life casts and am not interested in making masks or props, the huge quantity of liquid latex rubber was a total waste for me. So I immediately contacted the EnvironMolds’ customer service department with the trepidation that I had carelessly frittered away my money.
But the EnvironMolds personnel were quite agreeable to my mistake and agreed to facilitate an

I would be entitled to an exchange or credit after deducting a 20% restocking charge for the order error. I had to bear the cost of shipping and return shipping as well. But I was relieved that I was not stuck with the huge expense and exchanged it for my usual supplies like alginate, plaster bandages and release agents.

So as usual I was accessing the company website in my browser and was simply amazed to find that EnvironMolds has completely revamped its website. The look and feel has become quite trendy and attractive as opposed to the slightly dated appearance earlier. And unbelievably, the user-friendliness has gone up by several notches too!

EnvironMolds boldly claims to have a product for any and
every type of mold making, casting and life casting application. I found this
assertion very unbelievable because as a practicing artist I am aware of the
sheer multiplicity of items needed for making even a single life cast, or even
just a regular cast for that matter.
Therefore, I suspiciously perused the EnvironMolds
website and I have to admit that I was feeling a bit staggered by the array of
mold making and casting materials, supplies and equipment available for
purchase.
Those who are looking for mold making supplies can opt
for anything from alginates, moulage, wax or clay to polyurethane rubber,
silicone rubber, thermoset rubber or liquid latex as they choose. The casting
supplies section is equally varied with plaster, gypsum, latex, resin,
plastisol and silicone on offer. Additionally, there are plaster bandages,
fibers, fillers and even all-in-one molding, casting and also life casting
kits.
EnvironMolds also stocks all kinds of accessories, tools
and equipment like gloves, containers, spatulas, mixers, stands, vibrating
tables and vacuum chambers as well as paints, makeup supplies, brushes and what
not.
Coming to the finishing, it not just offers options in mounts
and brass name plate to provide a professional touch to your life cast but also
extends the facility to get your name plates engraved with your name and other
accompanying details.
Now I have to admit, indeed there is everything for
everyone!
