By the way, silicone is just as strong as polyurethane, it just depends on what shore hardness you are using. Silicone has a much better tear resistance than urethane as well. Some people choose urethane because it's much cheaper but it is also very unhealthty to work with and you have to use a release agent when casting into it.
