Everything but health care!
Silicone tears pretty easily but demolds so easily, it may be what
you want. There are many formulations and i don't know which is best
for glove molds. Robert? Dave? Silicone is so costly, you are only
better off (moneywise) if you can use it thin. (My latex price is
from the late '80s!)
You talk about molds lasting for years, but lifecasters typically
make the cast that sells right away. That's why alginate works so
well for most. Tell us about your need for long-lasting molds.
