I have a  Flexowriter that is missing one of its rubber feet -- and a 
second foot is  half-missing.  While I'd love to get an original Singer/Friden 
rubber  foot, I have two feet from which I could make a mould (using, for 
example,  clay or dental plaster), in which I could cast a replacement.  Has 
anyone  tried this?  There are seem to be several alternatives:

--  http://versimold.com/
a putty-like glob of thermo-setting silicone  rubber you can form into the 
shape you want (by hand for coarse parts, or in a  mould for more 
precision).  They suggest using hot air guns or ovens to  cure it.

--  http://www.oringsusa.com/html/make_rubber_parts.html
two-part  pourable silicone rubbers that you pour into a mould.  You get a 
choice  of soft or medium firmness.

I'd appreciate any experience anyone has  with these kinds of materials.
