Like anything else.. $$ spent is determined on the quality of supplies. Aluminum molds are expensive and last. RTV molds are fairly reasonable but does not put out as nice a finish as Aluminum. Then there is the plasticsol, flakes, special salt, scents, heat source to melt plastisol..ETC ETC ETC.
It is fun but dangerous, too. You need a well ventilated place to pour. Toxic fumes!!
Lurecraft has a reasonable kit for starters. They also have a DVD showing what is needed to pour and HOW.

Good luck.. If you have any questions, I/M me and I'll help you if I can.

Say, I buy a 3 cavity mold and plastic and cook the plastic. Say 1 cup. How can you keep the plastic in the cup from setting up B4 the plastic in the mold does?
Keep the Lord first in your heart, life and all that you do. Everything ealse will fall into place.
Like anything else you can go overboard very easy... ( see pic below). Just make sure you have a place that is well ventilated and a good sturdy table top to pour on....

Try dels kit (delmart.com) all you will need is a microwave oven and a pouring pan, also an imagination and lots of beer cause you spend a lot of time in front of those molds. It is very addicting and fun. You can get started pretty cheap and find used molds on ebay and tackleunderground.com.
