An RTV sillicone rubber is the stuff to use to make your molds with either a urethene resin or polyester resin to make the copies. The former may be the best option for u as its tougher, but it does shorten the life of the mold due to its chemical make-up. U will get about 50 casting from this stuff so it shouldnt be any concern for u.
This is where i get mine from www.tiranti.co.uk
