uncle al,

The material will not experienced any drastic heat change. I am
trying to recreate an organ model. like i said, i want it to be a gel
material that hardens as it cools/ stabilizes to room temperature.
I'm hoping that the material is soft enough that it doesn't break
through when we insert a scope in it. I guess i'm looking for
something like silicone rubber but more flesh like material.

Sounds like ballistic gel to me...

Do you know where I can purchase ballistic gel? I have tried making
ballistic gel in the past, but the result were inconsistent. I rather
purchase it. If any of you know a store/vendor that sells ballistic
gel. Please forward their information to me.

Thank you,
Charlotte
