Anyone use this type of material in the past?
http://www.smooth-on.com/Rigid-and-Flexible/c10/index.html
There are various densities, I have tried the 3lb density but it seemed a bit too soft and the surface next to the mold that I poured it in seemed to stay soft and not hard like that exposed to the air. Also the cells on the mold side seemed to crush/pop on their own once pulled from the mold under atmospheric pressue.

I was thinking that a 8-10lb density would be better for shaping and then surface finishing.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
