Thanks Ive used it quite a few times with great results. With really big feet where im not sure i have enough IM or if im running low this works really well in a pinch! It acts no different than IM.

Ah your probably doing it wrong.

100% pure silicone and corn starch, mix 1:1. Wear rubber gloves and rube some corn starch on them when they get sticky after a couple minutes the stuff will feel like freshly mixed IM. Then 15 min later its nice and firm just like real IM. Its pretty cool. I'll do a video.

I used it just the other day on a hospital plate. Dont get me wrong, I would rather use real IM but sometimes you cant. Like say if you left it at home in the cooler that stores the stuff you want temp controlled for example. I hate forgetting stuff.
