Source for Plug molds

Does anyone have a source for plug molds? Making them would sure be easier than trying to find them locally.

TIA

Make the mold in wet sand. It works really good!

I like the wet sand myself, take most any large capped bottle, invert it and punch in to the depth that you want. I also saw a round ice cube tray in Kmarts awhile ago. First round ice cube tray I'd seen.

I use wet sand for making all my various rock forms in.
