    hi, since you have computer access, join Indiamart.com, its free and
    install mcafee's free site advisor to your computer, then post buy
    orders and in minutes you'll have offers, particularly since you're
    there! It is primarily for import export traders but has anything
    you can dream of right there. make certain when setting your
    preferences that you do it with time considerations in mind or you'll
    get so many trade alerts in many categories if you use a by the hour
    vsn service, you'll spend all your time deleting email.always barter
    on prices, and tell them a representative will come by their location
    to deal directly with the seller.inspect the molding compound,
    plaster, investment, etc..dental suppliers have algicin - something
    to keep in mind if you want sturdy molds for pmc or clay uses,but not
    direct metal pouring. cuttlefish bone for casting is gatherable on
    the beaches in kerala..free, excelent source of casting media..i
    don't know what you're after but its all there on india mart..make
    sure to wear sandals at a minimum if foraging kerala's beaches, for
    health reasons (and beach tar)., as it is a number of villages
    bathrooms.. for many years..in the marketplaces cuttlefish/ sephia
    -sepia fish/squid bones are available near the fishmongers areas..if
    you need packaged products there is even a pmc guild in kerala
    state..but its a big area, so try the indiamart route first..mailing
    supplies or boating them through kerala's backwaters is easily
    arranged for little rupees, only use us dollars in person..if you
    need more info than this write me off orchid and i'll answer in a day
    or so as i'm away from my personal computer in New Orleans at the
    moment..oh, the westerners- as they are called from the mata
    anandamyi math are big into crafting and know all the places to get
    stuff ( kollum i think is closest) so if you see any of 'em ask for
    mata sneha, a relative of mine from san fransisco who lives there
    seasonally.She works for the crafts and swimming and computer parts
    of the ashram and can direct you in english how to get where, what
    and from who the quickest way..again, write if more info is needed.
    india's a big crowded daunting place if trying to get anything done
    quickly..i used to live there years ago myself..R
