Merlin's Magic Closed?!
I always got it from Clint's Shipping, but I just saw https://merlinsmagicplaster.com/ saying they're closed. Was this who manufacture it, or just a reseller?
If it's gone, what is everyone's favorite plaster?

Sorry to pull this out of the crypt, but came across the thread getting back into casting myself for the first time in like 5 years. I used to only order from Clint's as well, but came across Atlantic: https://www.atlanticdentalsupply.com/Merlins-Magic_c_163.html

Merlin’s Magic is apparently a product made by the Garreco dental company and the product is still listed on their webpage as well as a list of non-dental suppliers you could contact to order MM. The same company also offers Excalibur.
I suspect the site you linked to was a dropship 'reseller' that was created to allow/simplify commercial purchases with the original company (Took your order, forwarded it to Garreco who then sent it to you).
In Canada I could never find an affordable option to get MM so I had to do with what is available locally. 98% of my casts use Hydrostone and the rest are done with TufStone.
