You could try using a flexible polyurathane cast into a silicone mould. You are able to add pigments, glitter flakes etc to create effects.
http://www.amcsupplies.com.au/index....19_499_502_536 is an example of a product you may be able to use.
There will be a learning curve with the use of these resins.
I have used many of the rigid resins though not the flexible ones. Same mixing, prep etc I believe. As well as making many silicone moulds with different grades of silicone rubbers (What you cast into)
If you need some usage advise PM me and I can point you in the right direction or advise where to find the info to do so.
Hope this helps....But beware hobby casting is ADDICTIVE !!!!!!!

SPs are made with a heat activated one component plastic
it comes as a liquid which you heat and it changes the chemical bonds from a liquid emulsion to a rubbery plastci

Its a lot different to 2-part epoxies, ploy urethanes etc

see the links I put in the previous reply
