Hi Anne:
as/re molding book
I've found
Sculpture Casting by Dennis Kowal and Dona Z. Meilach----published by Crown publishers, New York, 1972
quite broadly informative-------however;
based on the desired end product, a more recent one with updated materials might be more apropos.

hope this helpes

Thank you Rod! I'll immediately transmit to him the reference.

you could also try "the compleat guide to Sculpture, Modelling and Ceramics techniques and materials" -ed barry midgley phaidon press

its a little more general, but if your needing a good opener to get you head around the differant ways and means of casting its very good.

it is quite old now though, so may be hard to track down (mines printed in 89)
