You can make your own molds out of silicon rubber. The best stuff I have
used is Dow Corning HS II RTV, a white fairly soft but durable material.
It probably is not made by Dow Corning anymore, since I think they went
bust. But other similar products are surely available. It is very high
priced and therefore very expensive to make the inevitable mistakes in
learning to use it. Go for it.
