Are you speaking from experience? Casting RTV silicone is not the same
as sealant RTV silicone. I've had a couple of people tell me that
they've used a tube of air-cure silicone caulk to make molds, but I've
never seen one and every time I try it takes way too long to harden
(the reaction proceeds from the surface in contact with air) and welds
itself to the object unless you use so much mold release that you can
see the texture of it.
Check the links in NW_Propmasters list.
Josh, you've got a Tap Plastics not too far from you.
