hi Naps, I use Mold Star 15:

http://www.smooth-on.com/a76/A-New-'Beginner'-Silicone---Mold-Star=-15/article_info.html

It is a very simple 1:1 mix by volume, no scales needed. From there I add my own iron oxide powder just to give more heat resistance to the mold. It isn't cheap, as you can find out at that site. Do this for a while and you get a clear understanding why all the stuff is made in China now ($$$). The day I figure out how to make my own silicon is the day I quit my real job.

Thanks for the info and the website link.
