amazing timing, i've been experimenting with my first home made molds this week! jordan is less silly in this one but still the coolest. great video!

I'm really interested in making something out of a hard silicon, not a mold for epoxy resin. I have a plastic mold, but I'm also experimenting with a melamine board mold. Detail is not too important at this level, but it's essentially creating a one-part mold but the mold is the product. With that said, it need to have some rigidity. Would you recommend a high strength silicon? Which product do you think? Also, I'm thinking I might need a release if you want to recommend one on your site. And I'll probably want to experiment with a matte color (black, green, etc.)
