to start off, everything you need can be bought from monstermakers or burman (monstermakers.com and burmanfoam.com) they sell alginate, hydrocal and ultacal, well heck everything your would need.
To start off, i would suggest making some slush latex appliances, as foam is a little more involved and costly. make sure you get the alginate that takes about 5-10 minutes to set. When you are going to make your lifecast you will need at least 1 other person, but i would suggest at least 2.

If you have any questions on the process or any specific questions email me and i'll send you some info and maybe if i can find them pics of the process. Sorry if this was a little confusing
