I keep seeing these things in my house april-september (besides all the other critters I share my house with) it's not a centipede, it's not a millipede, so I figured I'd take a pic next time I saw one... didn't take long! what is it?!? (besides creepy crawly)

    ask at hobby shops for acrylic casting medium comes in quart size cans with a small bottle of catylist, which usually you have to by seperate
    molds are another story...havent seen any commercial molds in a long time. i usually have to make my own or find something of the correct shape that will withstand the heat of cureing.
    small paper-weights (some with bugs) i cut the base off a light bulb and when finished simply break the glass off
    if you try that trick, clean and dry the INSIDE of the bulb to get rid of the white powder coating (frosted bulbs will not work, leave the casting rough) after drying give a rinse with armor all and dry upside down so it doesnt form a puddle in the bowel makes the glass fall off quick when you break it
    the stuff is not much more than fiberglass resin over-processed to be clear instead of amber
