Has anyone used and know if I can buy Herculite No. 2 Casting Plaster in Australia for not crazy prices??

Hey thanks for the response I have been using casting plaster to make my molds with as little amount of water to make them together but as I start to use them with each pour you can see the details disappear, I have been using my own 'mined' clay I collect on my property sieved with no deflucuant which seems to work fine for a little bit,I have made these same little statue molds about 4 times over now and I suppose with all the seconds counted I would have made close to hundred of each ,,,that's why I thought this time I should ask someone with some knowledge of pottery and mold making what I can do to make a set of molds that I can keep using for years without wax casting and new mold making each time thanks in advance

Hey everyone I have a question I'm about to make a set of slip molds again to pour small statues, I have made the molds over and over,each time varying depending on how much detail is left the the castings,. Is their a way to strengthen the plaster molds so they can have a long run of castings made in them before they loose all of the castings details,,,,,I thought about adding glue to the plaster but this will reck the moisture absorbsion ??? What can I do any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
