Depends?
Where in the world are you?
If you are in the UK I would tend to suggest Alex Tirantis - although there are a number of others.
Couldn't begin to suggest any in the US though.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage
to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill today because they got on my nerves.
And help me to remember when I'm having a bad day and it seems that people are trying to wind me up, it takes 42 muscles to frown, 28 to smile
and only 4 to extend my arm and smack someone in the mouth!

www.smooth-on.com is essentially the standard. Their resin and rubber are sold by many distributors. They have trial packs. Also, do some reading here in the resin and casting threads. There's a limit to what you can do without pressure and vacuum equipment, but you can do some good work if you're careful.

Moldmax 30 is what I use, it's a 10:1 ratio mix. It replicates the tiniest detail, check their site for local distributors.
