Can this silicone be used to make a mold that can then be placed in an oven to cure pre-preg - oven temp will be 250F or 112C. 

Thanks in advance to your reply

these tend to be too flexible and rubber, they would deform under pressure as it's likely impossible to ensure there are no tension areas in a bagged part.....

I have heard of someone incorporating some sections made of these silicones in areas where complicated tabs and recess are needed for mounting motorcycle bodywork for example....
