Silicone mold

This is made from Smooth-On's Oomoo 30 Silicone. Like the company says, it's not very sturdy. I was able to cast 17 heads until small defects & rips began to appear. However, I'm very rough with my molds.. and I don't use mold release, I think it would have lasted longer if I had.

 

But, it's so easy to use that I would rather make a new mold than mess around with difficult to use silicons (the ones that require a pressure pot and accurate measurement, etc). It's also easy and relatively cheap to buy (www.dickblick.com + 30% off coupon yay)
