where can i buy dental grade plaster? i need it to make a cast oy child's hands and feet.

You can buy perfectly ordinary plaster of paris. This will be ok for casting. If your woried about the ultimate strength you can mix the plaster with straw or paper shreds. Alternatively you need something like fibre glass resin. All this can be bought from an arts and crafts store.

thanks. i tried plaster of paris but it is so soft that i could scrape bits off it with my nail and the little finger fell off!

I think you'll be much better off casting in resin. Try www.hobbies-plus.co.uk or www.fredaldous.co.uk for materials and, I assume, advice.

Ask your own Dentist-he/she can get hold of a bucket of Pemstone or something similar from the lab. technicians who make all their dentures/crowns/bridges.

It's a bit pricey but well worth it. Try www.magiccustard.com
