Hello all,
I'm one of the engineers at Acronyms Unlimited (part of Crows Nest Foundry). We acquired a small library of sample kits from Smooth On's Silicone and Polyurethane lines for some client work, but that project is wrapped up -- they're now surplus to needs. Most "expire" by January 2027, but unopened they will go a long while after that. It's exposure to air that ruins them. I can do full inventory if anyone's keen, but in total it's about 7 x 500g kits, plus a used 5kg kit of Moldstar 16 that needs finishing up ASAP. We'd look to sell unopened at 70% original cost and opened at 40%.
If you have anything you want *us* to cast/mold, we can sell the materials to you discounted, but any design/CAD/labour is separate obviously. They are chemical cure, not heat, so make sure you watch their videos and consider whether your space is well-ventilated.
We have tin and platinum cure silicone (Mold Max and Mold Star), Reoflex + Clearflex which are polyurethanes, plus sulfur free clay for mold making. I am fine to throw a few dyes and pigment vials your way if you have any specific needs. Rowe Advanced has more info, as well as original prices:

We work in Crows Nest, but my partner is in Westmead. I could probably bring some out your way.
Hope to come by to visit sometime, kind regards,
salome
P.S. I've been a neurodivergent lurker for a long time. I commend the tact and restraint of your members. You know who you are -- Good job.
