Google "Smooth-On"

Many small and large batch options for various mold products.

If you can't get these products in your location. It's still a good source of information.

Flame retarding? Did you want it to release or stick? Use temperature?

Try writing a specification listing EVERYTHING you want the foam to do.

20 questions is not fun.

You need to say EXACTLY what the foam is to do, and the physical requirements.

Write that spec.
