Put down a drop cloth when working with silicone rubber or resin. Chances are paint will find a way to get on your clothes. Spray paint must be used outdoors in a well ventilated area. When drilling, make sure you don't accidentally drill through anything you don't want to. Hobby knives are sharp! Be careful and use a cutting mat. I created the dagger from wood and plastic and then created a rubber mold and cast it in plastic resin. I didn't have time for the staff, and since I really wanted to build the dagger, I only did one type of weapon. 32 oz pack of 10 mixing containers - $7.10.
