Mark-

    The type of plastic/rubber/stuff you use is dependent upon many
    factors, mostly how much detail you need and if you "contain" the
    flow of the plastic. A great source of information is Bonneydoon
    engendering (http://www.bonnydoonengineering.com), I know it has been
    sold, I think Phil Poirier is now in charge. They sell urethane,
    presses and accessories and have a discussion list which would be a
    great source of knowledge. Cynthia Eid, Dar Shelton and Jim Binnion
    who post on this list are also VERY knowledgeable on this subject. 

    It would also be possible to make the other half of the die with
    metal reinforced epoxy if you are pressing soft metal like annealed
    sterling silver. 

    If you are in Denver, I have a Bonneydoon 20 ton press with a variety
    of urethanes if you want to try something out. (marlin at cohrs dot
