    Dear Douglas, 	Don't worry so much! There is no problem. 

    	Firstly, the rubber is not a liquid and thus is not wet and will
    not wet the bark. It is a clay-like putty. 

    	Secondly it sticks to nothing, not even itself. 

    	If a release agent is needed-- to keep the rubber out of the pores
    of the bark or whatever -- a quick spray of fast-drying paint primer
    or polyurethane or something similar will do the trick. But mostly
    it's just not necessary. 

    	I know people who have made casting using our Quick Sil of
    interesting patterns in road asphalt, gravestones, tree bark, shells,
    wood carvings, picture frame moldings, iron fence railings . . . . .
    and on and on. 

    	Sure, I'll send you a sample. And one to anyone else out there who
    is interested. 

Michael Knight
