Would a company like living color use the same technology and material to produce their commercial products

[@hondo2160]

I could use this technique to mold some leaves I have here!

[@gdaychina]

How would I source materials from your company if I wanted to setup a production facility in the Philippines

[@brendan.3038]

As I live in Canada and Sea Fans cannot be imported; I like Michael MMC would love to know if anyone makes them for purchase. Thank you!

Id be interested in anyone who makes these SeaFans for purchase

[@corinawentzel]

Is it possible to buy some sea fans from you? Or do you know anyone who sells them? I don't need enough to buy the kit myself but I'd love to save the environment and not purchase real sea fans... Thank you!

[@XCyclonusX]

Its beautiful, but considering how many materials are required isn't the cost astronomical? It was mentioned that DIYer generally love the satisfaction of making it ourselves, which is true, but come on there is a limit.

[@tulanzuya]

The cost might be relatively high for making one or two fans but if you're planning to sell them you'd make your money back quickly and go on to make a lot more. Two potential customers already in the first several comments below!

often DIYers are not looking to save money, despite popular belief. Many DIYers do it for the personal satisfaction of working with their hands or accomplishing the project on their own.
I bet whenever someone looks in the tank he proudly says, "i made those from scratch" not that he saved money making them
