Aftermarket IEM foam tips

Where can I get new tips for my earbuds? I'm using a pair of dual driver UE's that I've had for years. They work well for me but I've ripped the silicone tips. I have other sizes of tips and the foam ones that came with them when I bought it, but I'm looking for replacements and/or better ones.
 
I used Radiant ear putty with my BlackBerry earbuds for noise cancellation and to be able to use the mic on them . Its tricky to get them both at the same angle, and they will sound different if they point different, but worth trying IMO. There are a few different videos on YouTube of how to make the custom molds. Its basically mix the putty, cram it in your ear, then stick the headphones in AMD let it cure. Hard to use anything else after these.
 
I bought a set of Monster tips on clearance at Staples. About 20sets of tips, some foam, some silicone. None fit my ears well enough to make a good seal.

I've tried the make your own silicone putty molds and have had mixed results.
