50-70 ml of alcohol

Homemade silicone molds
There's no content sizes actually, just use water+dish soap to wet your fingers, oil or cream to cover the figurine and silicone caulking sealant. Cover the figurine with oil well and then cover it with silicone, wetting your fingers to avoid sticking to silicone. Apply more coats every several hour till you get the desired thickness.

Homemade modelling clay:
I've made half a batch, here are the original instructions:
- toilet paper – 20 grams (this is about 40 leaflets of 3-layer paper) (I used 20 leaflets)
- white glue – 460 ml., about 480 g. (I used 240 grams, this is 5-6 tablespoons),
- dry plaster putty (drywall joint compound in powder) – 8 tablespoons, this is about 350 grams (I used 4 tablespoons)
- wheat flour – 11-13 tablespoons – about 360-420 g (I used 6 tablespoons)
- dish soap – 3,5 tablespoons (I used 2 tablespoons)
- liquid oil– 4 tablespoons (I used 2 tablespoons of mineral oit)

I think it's much easier to find at a hardware store, you want to look for a putty/compound which is based on plaster of Paris and has working life of no less then 45-60 minutes
