    That is very interesting Peter as I have Dow Silastic RTV molds made
    from the L and the E that are over thirty years old and are the same
    as the day they were made. I also use high temp carving wax in my
    injector periodically. I wonder what the difference is. I see no
    cracking or hardening what so ever. I have been using the stuff since
    1976 and have only recently switched to other brands when I found the
    Dow product too difficult to obtain, not to mention the prices. Very
    interesting.
