"At this year's IPMS Nationals, I ran across a vendor which
seemed to have a very good product - both the RTV rubber and
the resin. The rubber I have been getting (Dow-Corning 3110,
I think) seems to be similar to theirs, but the resin seems a
whole lot better than anything else that I have worked with.
