Victor and group,
take a look at http://www.alumilite.com/default.cfm?Action=view&ID=4
They sell a quick set silicone rubber for molds that does not require
de-airing, and a two part, 1:1 mix casting urethane, and various dies - even
a silver metallic powder - maybe go into business making rings.
Check out their dealer locator - porbably a hobby shop near you carries it.
