Hallo
I am moulding some customised translucent push-buttons, and have previously used 2-part condensation cure silicone gel (from Tiranti). I would like a solution that produces buttons that are very soft and compressible, almost as soft as rubber foam; should I investigate silicone gel or epoxy resin?

Thanks

I think you should start looking for some PU resins (polyurethane) you can find them in different shores from soft to foamy to strong you should be able to find a rubbery texture. Or you could try latex. Best of luck Wink
